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.' ³⁴ But I say to you, do not take oaths at all not by heaven, because it is the throne of God, ³⁵ not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. ³⁶ Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. ³⁷ Let your word be 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no.' More than this is from the evil one.
