Be not rash with your mouth and let not your heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in Heaven, and you upon earth, therefore let your words be few" (Ecclesiastes 5:1, 2).
2O se ke wa potlakisa molomo wa hao, pelo ya hao e se ke ya akofa ho bua taba pela Modimo; hobane Modimo o mahodimong, athe wena, o lefatsheng; ha ho le jwalo, mantswe a hao a be a se makae; 3hobane jwalokaha toro e etswa bongateng ba mesebetsi, ho jwalo molomo wa lewatla o tsejwa ka bongata ba mantswe.
