33. Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.

34. But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God:

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 speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
