^{33 Ref} Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

^{34 Ref} but I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

^{35 Ref} nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

^{36 Ref} Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

^{37 Ref} But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil `one'.
