In Solomon: “According as thou hast vowed a

‹ Book 3 · Section 29 Book 3 · Section 30 ›

vow

to

God

,

delay

not

to

pay

it

.

”

Concerning

this

same

thing

in

Deuteronomy

:

“

But

if

thou

hast

vowed

a

vow

to

the

Lord

thy

God

,

thou

shalt

not

delay

to

pay

it

:

because

the

Lord

thy

God

inquiring

shall

seek

it

of

thee

;

and

it

shall

be

for

a

sin

.

Thou

shalt

observe

those

things

that

shall

go

forth

out

of

thy

lips

,

and

shalt

perform

the

gift

which

thou

hast

spoken

with

thy

mouth

.

”

Of

this

same

matter

in

the

forty

-

ninth

Psalm

:

“

Sacrifice

to

God

the

sacrifice

of

praise

,

and

pay

thy

vows

to

the

Most

High

.

Call

upon

me

in

the

day

of

trouble

,

and

I

will

deliver

thee

,

and

thou

shalt

glorify

me

.

”

Of

this

same

thing

in

the

Acts

of

the

Apostles

:

“

Why

hath

Satan

filled

thine

heart

,

that

thou

shouldst

lie

to

the

Holy

Ghost

,

when

thy

estate

was

in

thine

own

power

?

Thou

hast

not

lied

unto

men

,

but

unto

God

.

”

Also

in

Jeremiah

:

“

Cursed

is

he

who

doeth

the

work

of

God

negligently

.
