Deuteronomy 23:22

← Deuteronomy 23:21	Deuteronomy 23:22 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 23:23 →
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.	But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.	That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
