Matthew Henry Commentary Ecclesiastes 5:1-3

"Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool`s voice with a multitude of words." — Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (ASV)

Address yourself to the worship of God, and take time to compose yourself for it. Keep your thoughts from roving and wandering; keep your affections from running out toward wrong objects. We should avoid vain repetitions; copious prayers are not condemned here, but those that are meaningless. How often our wandering thoughts render attendance on Divine ordinances little better than the sacrifice of fools! Many words and hasty ones, used in prayer, show folly in the heart, low thoughts of God, and careless thoughts of our own souls.
