ECC 5:2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God.
Eccl. 5:2

But the after-effects can be VERY costly. Another aspect of the verse is - don’t make promises or commitments (vows, if you will) that you can’t keep or wish very much that you’d never made.
