And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.

Therefore let your words (D)be few.
3 For a dream comes through much activity,
And (E)a fool’s voice is known by his many words.

And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (D)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
