Ecclesiastes 5:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
In context
5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
7 For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor and the denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be astonished at the matter; for one official is watched by a superior, and others higher still are over them.
9 The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
