"When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed."
Księga Koheleta 5:4

W kontekście

2Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter thing before God: for God in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice by multitude of words.

4When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5Better that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
