33 Again you have heard it was said to them who were before you, that you shall not lie in your oaths, but entrust your oaths to the Lord.
34 But I say to you, never swear; neither by heaven, because it is GodÆs throne;
35 Nor by the earth, for it is a stool under his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of a great king.
36 Neither shall you swear by your own head, because you cannot create in it a single black or white hair.
37 But let your words be yes, yes, and no, no; for anything which adds to these is a deception.
