1 Samuel 14:26

When the troops entered the forest, they saw the flow of honey, but none of them ate any of it because they feared the oath.

Ecclesiastes 9:2

Everything is the same for everyone: there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as for the one who takes an oath, so for the one who fears an oath.
