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.

Revised Standard Version
21 “When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be slack to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin in you. 22 But if you refrain from vowing, it shall be no sin in you. 23 You shall be careful to perform what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.
