Ecclesiastes 5:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ It's better not to make a promise at all than to make one and not keep it. ⁶ Don't let your mouth get you in trouble! And don't say to the worship leader,^[a] “I didn't mean what I said.” God can destroy everything you have worked for, so don't say something that makes God angry.

⁷ Respect and obey God! Daydreaming leads to a lot of senseless talk.^[b]
