Ecclesiastes 5:2

rash--opposed to the considerate reverence ("keep thy foot," Ecclesiastes 5:1). This verse illustrates Ecclesiastes 5:1, as to prayer in the house of God ("before God," Isaiah 1:12); so Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 as to vows. The remedy to such vanities is stated (Ecclesiastes 5:6). "Fear thou God."

God is in heaven--Therefore He ought to be approached with carefully weighed words, by thee, a frail creature of earth.
