Matthew 5:34-37

34But I say to you, do not make an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

35or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

36Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you are not able to make a single hair white or black.

37But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’ [a firm yes or no]; anything more than that comes from the evil one.
