Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Verse 1 is found in chapter 5 of Ecclesiastes. The teaching about worship begins with an exhortation to guard one’s steps when entering the house of God. Listening is presented as more important than offering thoughtless sacrifices. The text criticizes hasty words before God and warns against making vows without intending to fulfill them. Genuine reverence is expressed through listening, verbal restraint, and responsible fulfillment rather than an abundance of religious words.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
