7. O sons: listen to the doctrine of my mouth. For those who observe it will not perish by the lips, nor be scandalized into wicked works.

9. Do not allow your mouth to become accustomed to swearing oaths. For in this, there are many pitfalls.
10. Truly, do not allow the naming of God to be continually in your mouth, and do not treat as if common the names of the holy ones. For you will not escape punishment by them.
11. Just as a servant, continually interrogated, will not be without a bruise, so everyone who swears oaths and takes God's name will not be entirely free from sin.
12. A man who swears many oaths will be filled with iniquity, and scourges will not depart from his house.
13. And if he fails to fulfill it, his offense will be over him, and if he pretends he fulfilled it, he offends doubly.
14. And if he swears an oath insincerely, he will not be justified. For his house will be filled with retribution for him.
15. There is yet another kind of talk which faces death; let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob.
16. For all these things will be taken away from the merciful, and they shall not wallow in offenses.
