7
Listen, my children, to instruction about your mouth; whoever follows my instruction will never succumb to it.
8
The lips of sinners will seize them and make abusers and the arrogant stumble.
9
Don't let your mouth get used to making solemn pledges, and don't get accustomed to saying the name of the holy one.
10
Just as a household slave who is constantly examined won't be lacking bruises, so also the person who always swears and speaks the Lord's name will never be cleansed from sin.
11
People who make many solemn pledges will be full of lawlessness, and a scourge won't depart from their house. If they break their solemn pledges, their sin is on them, and if they disregard it, they sin doubly, and if they swear falsely, they won't be justified, but their houses will be full of misery.
