4 LIBER ECCLESIASTES Ecclesiastes - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Ecclesiastes - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
17Custodi pedem tuum ingrediens domum Dei, et appropinqua ut audias. Multo enim melior est obedientia quam stultorum victimæ, qui nesciunt quid faciunt mali. Don't make rash promises. Ec.5.1-7
1Ne temere quid loquaris, neque cor tuum sit velox ad proferendum sermonem coram Deo. Deus enim in cælo, et tu super terram; idcirco sint pauci sermones tui.  
2Multas curas sequuntur somnia, et in multis sermonibus invenietur stultitia.  
3Si quid vovisti Deo, ne moreris reddere: displicet enim ei infidelis et stulta promissio, sed quodcumque voveris redde:  
4multoque melius est non vovere, quam post votum promissa non reddere.  
5Ne dederis os tuum ut peccare facias carnem tuam, neque dicas coram angelo: Non est providentia: ne forte iratus Deus contra sermones tuos dissipet cuncta opera manuum tuarum.  
6Ubi multa sunt somnia, plurimæ sunt vanitates, et sermones innumeri; tu vero Deum time.  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
