'Swore' in the Bible
So I swore [an oath] in My wrath,‘They shall not enter My rest [the promised land].’”
For we who believe [that is, we who personally trust and confidently rely on God] enter that rest [so we have His inner peace now because we are confident in our salvation, and assured of His power], just as He has said,“As I swore [an oath] in My wrath,They shall not enter My rest,”[this He said] although His works were completed from the foundation of the world [waiting for all who would believe].
For when God made the promise to Abraham, He swore [an oath] by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear,
and swore [an oath] by [the name of] Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there will be delay no longer,
