To keep

If a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath of binding obligation on himself, he must not break his word, but must do whatever he has promised.

When you make a vow to the Lord your God you must not delay in fulfilling it, for otherwise he will surely hold you accountable as a sinner.

It is a snare for a person to rashly cry, "Holy!" and only afterward to consider what he has vowed.

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it. For God takes no pleasure in fools: Pay what you vow!

therefore you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
