253 : Basic English : Ecclesiastes 5,6,7; 1 Corinthians 6 1. Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.
2. Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.
3. As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.
4. When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.
5. It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.
