Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 TOL


Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 Do not be quick with your mouth nor hasty in your heart to utter a word in God's presence. For God is in heaven, and you are on the earth--therefore, let your words be few.

As a dream comes with excessive burdens so a fool's voice with too many words.

When you swear a vow to God, don't delay in fulfilling it. For He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

It is better for you not to vow than to vow and not pay.

Don't let you mouth lead your flesh to sin, and don't say before the messenger, "It was a mistake!" Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

Many dreams and many words are meaningless. Therefore, fear God!

Bureaucratic Oppression

If you see the oppression of the poor or perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the matter. For one authority watches over another authority, and higher ones are over them.

Angel of ADONAI in a burning Bush

Exodus 3:1-6 Now Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. So he led the flock to the farthest end of the wilderness, coming to the mountain of God, Horeb.

Then the angel of ADONAI appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. So he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, yet it was not consumed.

Moses thought, "I will go now, and see this great sight. Why is the bush not burnt?"

When ADONAI saw that he turned to look, He called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" So he answered, "Hineni."

Then He said, "Come no closer. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you standing is holy ground."

Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." So Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

1 Samuel 15:17-23 Then Samuel said, "Isn't it true, though you were insignificant in your own eyes, that you were made head of the tribes of Israel? ADONAI anointed you king over Israel!

Then ADONAI sent you on a mission and said; 'Go and utterly destroy the Amalekites, the sinners, and wage war against them until you annihilate them.

Why then did you not obey the voice of ADONAI, but rushed greedily onto the spoil--doing what was evil in ADONAI'S eyes?"

"But I did obey the voice of ADONAI," Saul said to Samuel. "I went on the mission on which ADONAI sent me, and brought back Agag the king of Amalek--and utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

But the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen--the best of what was under the ban of destruction--to sacrifice to ADONAI your God in Gilgal."

Samuel said; "Does ADONAI delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of ADONAI? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay heed than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is like the sin of divination and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry. Since you have rejected ADONAI'S word, He has also rejected you as king."

Proverbs 20:24-25 A man's steps are directed by ADONAI. How then can anyone understand his own way?

It is a trap for one to say rashly, "It is holy!" and only afterward to consider his vows.
