and you will ^kpay your vows.

Fear God

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:17 in Hebrew} ^uGuard your steps when you go to ^vthe house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to ^woffer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. 2 ^{▼▼Ch 5:1 in Hebrew} Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore ^ylet your words be few. 3 For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s voice with ^zmany words.

11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. ^adThough they cry to me, I will not listen to them.
