Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 Comparing NCV Bibleman, ICB, NKJV SB Kids, HCSB Essential Teen SB
Be Careful About Making Promises
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NCV Bibleman/ICB Be careful when you go to worship at the Temple. It is better to listen than to offer foolish sacrifices. People who do this don't even know they are doing wrong.
Think before you speak. Be careful about what you promise to God. God is in heaven, and you are on the earth. So say only a few words to God.
The saying is true; Bad dreams come from too much worrying. So too many words come from foolish people.
If you make a promise to God, don't be slow to keep it. God is not happy with foolish people. Give God what you promised.
It is better not to promise anything than to promise something and not do it.
So don't let your words cause you to sin. Also, don't say to the priest at the Temple, "I didn't mean what I promised!" If you do, God will become angry with your words. He will destroy everything you have worked for.
Many empty promises are like many foolish dreams. They mean nothing. You should honor God.
Fear God, Keep Your vows
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NKJV SB Kids Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.
For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed--
Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
For dreams result from much work and a fool's voice from many words.
When you make a vow to God, don't delay fulfilling it, because He does not delight in fools. Fulfill what vow.
Better that you do not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.
Do not let your mouth bring guilt on you, and do not say in the presence of the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
For many dreams bring futility. so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
