It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts.

It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.

It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,
and after vows to make enquiry.

It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and to reflect only after making vows.

It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.

Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost.

It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and begin to reflect only after making a vow.

It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication,
then later to consider his vows.

It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, “It is holy!”
And after the vows to make inquiry.

Bible verse of the day

All those who have sinned outside the Law will perish outside the Law, and all who sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law.

For God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may attain eternal life.
