33 And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths;

35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool;

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair black or white;

37 But let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever cometh of more than these is evil.
