Ecclesiastes 5:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 5
1 Never be in a hurry to speak
or hastily make a promise to God,
for God is in heaven
and you are on earth;
therefore, let your words be few.
2 As dreams come when there are many cares,
so does the speech of a fool when there are many words.[a]
Footnotes
- Ecclesiastes 5:2 Many words: probably refers to the offering of rash vows to God (see v. 6).
