New King James Version
16 “Woe to you, (A)blind guides, who say, (B)‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold (C)or the temple that [a]sanctifies the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift (D)or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who [b]swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by (E)Him who [c]dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by (F)the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.

New King James Version
2 (A)All things come alike to all:
One event happens to the righteous and the wicked;
To the [a]good, the clean, and the unclean;
To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.
As is the good, so is the sinner;
He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.
