Ecclesiastes 5:1 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5
1 Guarda os teus passos quando entrares na casa de Deus, e te achegues a ouvir em vez de oferecer sacrifícios de tolos, pois não sabem que fazem mal.
2 Não te precipites com tua boca, nem te apresses com teu coração, a pronunciar palavra alguma perante a face de Deus; porque Deus está nos céus, e tu estás na terra; por isso, que tuas palavras sejam poucas.
3 Pois, como os sonhos vêm das muitas ocupações, assim também o excesso de palavras vem da voz do tolo.
