16 Woe to you, [ye] blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
17 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things upon it.
