Ecclesiastes 51-3

• Walk prudently when you go to the house of God
  and draw near to hear rather than to give the
  sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that
  they do evil. Do not be rash with your mouth,
  And let not your heart utter anything hastily
  before God. For God is in heaven, and you on
  earth Therefore let your words be few. For a
  dream comes through much activity, And a fools
  voice is known by his many words.

• See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For
  if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke
  on earth, much more shall we not escape if we
  turn away from Him who speaks from heaven
