Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
Modern English Version

Revere God

5 Guard your steps when you enter the house of God, and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.[a]

2 Do not be quick to speak with your mouth,
    nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word
    before God.
For God is in heaven,
    and you are on the earth;
    therefore may your words be few.
3 For a dream comes when there is a great burden,
    and a foolish voice when there are many words.
