As the Lord thy God liveth.
He that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth thereon.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
So let the gods do to me, and more.
Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
