Ecclesiastes 5:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. 6 Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger[a] that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 For when dreams increase, empty words grow many:[b] but do you fear God.
