searching for a passage

[Amleto]

I'm trying to find the passage about keeping to you word ie if you say you will do something then do it. I think it also mentions to not say things like "I swear on my mum's grave" or "I swear on Jesus' name" etc

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Psa 15:4 refering to attributes of those who will dwell with the Lord says "In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;" but Jesus says "Swear not at all;" Mat 5:34
