Thematic Bible: Not breaking your vows to the lord


Thematic Bible



When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.

When a man takes an oath to the Lord, or gives an undertaking having the force of an oath, let him not go back from his word, but let him do whatever he has said he will do.

When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin But if you take no oath, there will be no sin. Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
