4 When you make a vow to God, delay not its fulfillment. For God has no pleasure in fools; fulfill what you have vowed.

5 It is better not to make a vow than make it and not fulfill it.

6 Let not your utterances make you guilty, and say not before his representative, “It was a mistake.” Why should God be angered by your words and destroy the works of your hands?
