Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 ¶ Watch thy feet when thou goest to the house of God and draw near with more willingness to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know how to do what God wants.
2 Do not be rash with thy mouth and do not let thy heart be hasty to utter any thing before God, for God is in heaven and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.
3 For out of much preoccupation comes the dream, and the voice of the fool out of a multitude of words.
