ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૫:૩
અતિશય શ્રમની ચિંતાથી સ્વપ્નો આવે છે. અને બહુ બોલવાથી મૂર્ખની મૂર્ખાઇ ઉઘાડી પડી જાય છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ५:३
क्योंकि जैसे कार्य की अधिकता के कारण स्वप्न देखा जाता है, वैसे ही बहुत सी बातों का बोलनेवाला मूर्ख ठहरता है।

In context

1Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

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.

3For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

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.

5It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
