Psalms 76:11

11: Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

So when you make a promise to God, don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.
It is better to say nothing than to promise something that you don't follow through on.
In such cases, your mouth is making you sin. And don't defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved.

What I want instead is your true thanks to God; I want you to fulfill your vows to the Most High.

In fact, except for the grace of God--the God of my grandfather Abraham, the awe-inspiring God of my father, Isaac--you would have sent me off without a penny to my name. But God has seen your cruelty and my hard work. That is why he appeared to you last night and vindicated me."

The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than those who surround his throne.

A man who makes a vow to the LORD or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do.

That is how the LORD rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from King Sennacherib of Assyria and from all the others who threatened them. So there was peace at last throughout the land.
From then on King Hezekiah became highly respected among the surrounding nations, and many gifts for the LORD arrived at Jerusalem, with valuable presents for King Hezekiah, too.

"Each year every man in Israel must celebrate these three festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival of Shelters. They must appear before the LORD your God at the place he chooses on each of these occasions, and they must bring a gift to the LORD.
