Deuteronomy 23:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 “(A)When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly require it of you, and it will be a sin [a]for you. 22 However, if you refrain from making vows, it will not be a sin [b]for you. 23 You shall be careful and perform what goes out of your lips, since in fact you have vowed a [c]voluntary offering to the Lord your God, whatever you have [d]promised.

Deuteronomy 23:21-23
American Standard Version
21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. 23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
