[33] “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’

[34] But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

[35] or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

[36] And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

[37] All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
