Matthew 5:33-37 - The Sermon On The Mount: Taking Oaths

³³ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to the antients, "Thou shalt not for swear thy self, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths." ³⁴ but I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne: ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. ³⁶ neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ but let your communication be, yes, yes; no, no: for whatever goes beyond this, is evil.
