Ecclesiastes 5:2

2. rash—opposed to the considerate reverence ("keep thy foot," Ec 5:1). This verse illustrates Ec 5:1, as to prayer in the house of God ("before God," Isa 1:12); so Ec 5:4-6 as to vows. The remedy to such vanities is stated (Ec 5:6). "Fear thou God."

God is in heaven—Therefore He ought to be approached with carefully weighed words, by thee, a frail creature of earth.

Isaiah 66:1
