Matthew 5:33-35

33“Again, 1you have heard that 2the ancients were told, ‘34You shall not 5make false vows, but shall fulfill your 6vows to the Lord.’

34But I say to you, 7make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is 8the throne of God,

35or by the earth, for it is the 9footstool of His feet, or 10by Jerusalem, for it is 11the city of the great King.
