What are some Bible verses about vows?

Answer  
  

Ecclesiastes 5:4\-6  

When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow. It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?  
  

James 5:12  

But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.  
  

Deuteronomy 23:21\-23  

If you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. You shall be careful to do what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.  
  

Numbers 30:2  

If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.  
  

Psalm 76:11  

Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,  
  

Psalm 61:8  

So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.  
  

Job 22:27  

You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows.  
  

Psalm 61:5  

For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.  
  

Matthew 5:33\-37  

Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.  
  

Proverbs 20:25  

It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,” and to reflect only after making vows.  
  

1 Samuel 1:11  

And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.”

And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”  
  

Nahum 1:15  

Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows, for never again shall the worthless pass through you; he is utterly cut off.  
  

Psalm 116:14\-19  

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,
