Keepºº
thy footº
whenº
thou goestººº
toº
the houseº
of God,º

of fools:º
for they considerºº
notº
thatº
they doºº
evil.º |

let thy wordsº
beº
few.º |

5:5
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. |

be angryºº
atº
thy voice,º
and destroyººº
the workº
of thine hands?º |
