"If you have vowed anything to God, you should not delay to repay it. And whatever you have vowed, render it. But an unfaithful and foolish promise displeases him. "
— Ecclesiastes 5:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
“For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words. ”
“For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech with a multitude of words.”
“Just as dreams come when there are many cares, so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.”
“If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.”
“As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.”
“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
You should not speak anything rashly, nor should your heart be hasty to present a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth. For this reason, let your words be few.
Dreams follow many worries, and in many words foolishness will be found.
If you have vowed anything to God, you should not delay to repay it. And whatever you have vowed, render it. But an unfaithful and foolish promise displeases him.
And it is much better not to make a vow, than, after a vow, not to fulfill what was promised.
You should not use your mouth so as to cause your flesh to sin. And you should not say, in the sight of an Angel, “There is no Providence.” For God, being angry at your words, may scatter all the works of your hands.
Where there are many dreams, there are many vanities and innumerable words. Yet truly, you must fear God.
