¹⁷ No Israelite man^(A) or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.^{(B) 18} You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute^[a] into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.^(C)

²¹ If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,^(A) for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.^(B)

²³ Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.
