- તારા મુખેથી અવિચારી વાત કરીશ નહિ અને ઈશ્વરની સંમુખ કંઈપણ બોલવા માટે તારું અંત:કરણને ઉતાવળું ન થવા દે. કેમ કે ઈશ્વર આકાશમાં છે અને તું તો પૃથ્વી પર છે માટે તારા શબ્દો થોડા જ હોય.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ५:२
- बातें करने में उतावली न करना, और न अपने मन से कोई बात उतावली से परमेश्वर के सामने निकालना, क्योंकि परमेश्वर स्वर्ग में हैं और तू पृथ्वी पर है; इसलिए तेरे वचन थोड़े ही हों।

2Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

4When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.
