Let your words be few

Let your words be few

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (NASB)
1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil. 

2 Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. 

3 For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.

Hosea 4:6 (NASB)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Mark 4:24-25 (TPT)
24 Then he said to them,  “Be diligent to understand the meaning behind everything you hear, for as you do, more understanding will be given to you. 

And according to the depth of your longing to understand, much more will be added to you. 

25 For those who listen with open hearts will receive more revelation. But those who don’t listen with open hearts will lose what little they think they have!”
