Kohelet 5:5-7

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^5 (5:4) Better it is that thou shouldest not make a neder, than that thou shouldest vow and not fulfill the neder.

^6 (5:5) Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy basar into chet (sin); neither say thou before the Malach [of G-d], that it was a mistake. Wherefore should HaElohim be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

^7 (5:6) For in the multitude of chalomot and many dvarim there are also divers havalim [see 1:2]; but fear thou HaElohim.
