"And Jacobª vowedª° a vow,ª saying,ª° If¹ Godª will be¹ with¹ me, and will keep¹ me²° in this¹ wayª that¹ I¹ go,ª° and will giveª° me breadª to eat,ª° and raimentª to put on,ª°" {Gen 28:20} + "If¹ a manª vowª° a vowª unto the LORD,ª or¹ swearª° an oathª to bindª°¹ his soulª with a bond;ª he shall not¹ breakª° his word,ª he shall doª° according to all¹ that proceedeth²° out¹ of his mouth.ª¹ ... These¹ [are] the statutes,ª which¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses,ª between¹ a manª and his wife,ª between¹ the fatherª and his daughter,ª [being yet] in her youthª in her father'sª house.ª" {Num 30:2-16} + "And she vowedª° a vow,ª and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª if¹ thou wilt indeed²° lookª° on the afflictionª of thine handmaid,ª and rememberª° me, and not¹ forgetª°¹ thine handmaid,ª but wilt giveª° unto thine handmaidª a man²¹ child,ª then I will giveª° him unto the LORDª all¹ the daysª of his life,ª and there shall no¹ razorª comeª° upon¹ his head.ª" {1Sm 1:11} + "Keepª° thy footª when¹ thou goest²°¹ to¹ the houseª of God,ª and be more ready²¹ to hear,ª° than to giveª°¹ the sacrificeª of fools:ª for they considerª° not¹ that¹ they doª° evil.ª ... Be not¹ rashª° with¹ thy mouth,ª and let not¹ thine heartª be hastyª° to utterª° [any] thingª beforeª God:ª for¹ Godª [is] in heaven,ª and thou¹ upon¹ earth:ª therefore¹¹ let thy wordsª be¹ few.ª" {Ecc 5:1-2} + "When¹ thou vowestª° a vowª unto God,ª deferª° not¹ to payª° it; for¹ [he hath] no¹ pleasureª in fools:ª payª°¹ that which¹ thou hast vowed.ª° ... Betterª [is it] that¹ thou shouldest not¹ vow,ª° than that thou shouldest vowª°¹¹ and not¹ pay.ª°" {Ecc 5:4-5} |
