Reverence and Wisdom in Worship

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Be not rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hastie to vtter a thing before God: for God is in the heauens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy wordes be fewe.

For as a dreame commeth by the multitude of businesse: so the voyce of a foole is in the multitude of wordes.

When thou hast vowed a vowe to God, deferre not to pay it: for he deliteth not in fooles: pay therefore that thou hast vowed.

It is better that thou shouldest not vowe, then that thou shouldest vow and not pay it.

Suffer not thy mouth to make thy flesh to sinne: neither say before the Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God bee angry by thy voyce, and destroy the worke of thine hands?

For in the multitude of dreames, and vanities are also many wordes: but feare thou God.

If in a countrey thou seest the oppression of the poore, and the defrauding of iudgement and iustice, be not astonied at the matter: for hee that is higher then the highest, regardeth, and there be higher then they.
