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

But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God’s throne.

But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

But I say to you, take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.

This is what the Lord says:“ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that? Could you build me such a resting place?

“ When you make a vow to the Lord your God, be prompt in fulfilling whatever you promised him. For the Lord your God demands that you promptly fulfill all your vows, or you will be guilty of sin.However, it is not a sin to refrain from making a vow.But once you have voluntarily made a vow, be careful to fulfill your promise to the Lord your God.

“ Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear‘ by God’s Temple,’ but that it is binding to swear‘ by the gold in the Temple.’Blind fools! Which is more important— the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred?And you say that to swear‘ by the altar’ is not binding, but to swear‘ by the gifts on the altar’ is binding.How blind! For which is more important— the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred?When you swear‘ by the altar,’ you are swearing by it and by everything on it.And when you swear‘ by the Temple,’ you are swearing by it and by God, who lives in it.And when you swear‘ by heaven,’ you are swearing by the throne of God and by God, who sits on the throne.

The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this:“ I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.

The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don’t.
