Ecclesiastes 5:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Do not be rash with your mouth,
and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God.
For God is in heaven, and you are on earth;
therefore, let your words be few.
3 For a dream comes with many cares,
and the voice of a fool with many words.
4 When you make a vow to God,
do not delay in fulfilling it,
for he takes no pleasure[a] in fools.
Fulfill what you vow!

Prediger 5:2-4
Schlachter 2000
2 Denn Träume kommen von viel Geschäftigkeit, und dummes Geschwätz vom vielen Reden.
3 Wenn du Gott ein Gelübde ablegst, so versäume nicht, es zu erfüllen; denn er hat kein Wohlgefallen an den Toren; was du gelobt hast, das sollst du auch erfüllen!
4 Es ist besser, dass du nichts gelobst, als dass du etwas gelobst und es nicht erfüllst.
