Ecclesiastes 5:2

אַל תְּבַהֵ֧ל עַל פִּ֛יךָ וְלִבְּךָ֖ אַל יְמַהֵ֣ר לְהוֹצִ֣יא דָבָ֑ר לִפְנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים כִּ֤י הָאֱלֹהִים֙ בַּשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְאַתָּ֖ה עַל הָאָ֑רֶץ עַל כֵּ֕ן יִהְי֥וּ דְבָרֶ֖יךָ מְעַטִּֽים׃
ʾal tbahel ʿal piyka vlibka ʾal ymaher lhvoṣiyʾ dabar lipney haʾelohiym kiy haʾelohiym bashamayim vʾatah ʿal haʾareṣ ʿal ken yihyv dbareyka mʿaṭiym
King James Version (KJV)

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

Modern English

Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
