6 “A woman might make a pledge or a careless promise and then get married.
7 Her husband might hear about it and say nothing. Then she must keep her promise or the pledge she made.
8 But when her husband hears about it, he might not allow it. He cancels her pledge or the careless promise she made. The Lord will free her from keeping it.
9 “A widow or divorced woman might make a promise. She must do whatever she promised.
10 “A woman might make a promise or pledge while she was married.
11 When her husband hears about it, he might say nothing. He might not stop her. Then she must keep her promise or pledge.
12 But when her husband hears about it, he might cancel it. Then she does not have to do what she said. Her husband has canceled it. The Lord will free her from it.
