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.

21 “When you make a vow[a] to Yahweh your God, you shall not postpone fulfillment of it,[b] for certainly Yahweh your God shall require it from you and if postponed you will incur guilt.[c] 22 And if you refrain from vowing,[d] you shall not incur guilt.[e] 23 The utterance of your lips you must perform diligently[f] just as you have vowed freely to Yahweh your God whatever it was that you promised[g] with your mouth.
