Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To
draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are
doing evil. 2 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. 3 For a dream comes with
much business, and a fool’s voice with many words.

and to him who has no might he increases strength.

2 Peter 1:19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay
attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns
and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all,
that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own
interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the
Holy Spirit.

John 15:3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have
spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever
abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart
from me you can do nothing.
