Bible Verses About Oaths: Forbidden to take in the name of any created thing

But I tell you not to swear at all -- not `by heaven,' because it is God's throne;

not `by the earth,' because it is his footstool;p and not `by Yerushalayim,' because it is the city of the Great King.

And don't swear by your head, because you can't make a single hair white or black.

Above all, brothers, stop swearing oaths — not “By heaven,” not “By the earth,” and not by any other formula; rather, let your “Yes” be simply “Yes” and your “No” simply “No,” so that you won’t fall under condemnation.
