33 “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to יהוה.’
34 “But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by the heaven, because it is Elohim’s throne;
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign;
36 nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 “But let your word ‘Yea’ be ‘Yea,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
38 “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’
39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
