Ecclesiastes 5:6

Read Full Chapter
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
World English Bible (WEB)
Suffer{H5414}{(H8799)} not thy mouth{H6310} to cause thy flesh{H1320} to sin{H2398}{(H8687)}; neither say{H559}{(H8799)} thou before{H6440} the angel{H4397}, that it was an error{H7684}: wherefore should God{H430} be angry{H7107}{(H8799)} at thy voice{H6963}, and destroy{H2254}{(H8765)} the work{H4639} of thine hands{H3027}?
