Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Gestatte deinem Munde nicht, daß er dein Fleisch sündigen mache; und sprich nicht vor dem Boten Gottes, es sei ein Versehen gewesen: warum sollte Gott über deine Stimme zürnen und das Werk deiner Hände verderben?
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
No sueltes tu boca para hacer pecar á tu carne; ni digas delante del ángel, que fué ignorancia. ¿Por qué harás que Dios se aire á causa de tu voz, y que destruya la obra de tus manos?
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Não permitas a tua boca, que faça a tua carne pecar; nem digas perante a face do mensageiro, que foi um erro; porque farias irar a Deus tanto com tua voz, a ponto dele destruir a obra de tuas mãos?
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Não permitas que tua boca te faça pecar. Não digas ao mensageiro de Deus: "Esse voto foi um erro". Por que fazer com que Deus Se ire, por teres jurado falsamente, provocando-O a destruir o trabalho de tuas mãos?
📖 Ecclesiastes 5:6 in Context
4When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
7For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
8If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
