ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

ecclesiastes 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it, for [He takes] no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

4. When thou vowest a vow unto God--Hasty words in prayer (Ec 5:2, 3) suggest the subject of hasty vows. A vow should not be hastily made (Jud 11:35; 1Sa 14:24). When made, it must be kept (Ps 76:11), even as God keeps His word to us (Ex 12:41, 51; Jos 21:45).

ecclesiastes 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it, for [He takes] no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!
