Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
New Life Version
Do What You Promise
5 Watch your steps as you go to the house of God. Go near and listen but do not give the gift of fools. For they do not know they are sinning. 2 Do not hurry to speak or be in a hurry as you think what to tell God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth. So let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes with much work, and the voice of a fool comes with many words.
