³³“Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ ³⁴But I say to you, do not take oaths at all—not by heaven because it is the throne of God, ³⁵not by earth because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem because it is the city of the great King. ³⁶Do not take an oath by your head because you are not able to make one hair white or black. ³⁷Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.
