2 ¹ Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore ^alet your words be few.

3 For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s voice with many words.

7 For when dreams increase and ^cwords grow many, ^dthere is vanity;¹ but^{2 e}God is the one you must fear.

11 ^eThe more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?
