Ecclesiastes 5:3-5
Lexham English Bible

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!
5 It is better that you not vow
    than that you vow and not fulfill it.
