Hebrews 6:13
For when made God promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

וַיִּקְרָא מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אֶל-אַבְרָהָם שֵׁנִית מִן-הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת-אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
בִּי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי יָצָא מִפִּי צְדָקָה דָּבָר וְלֹא יָשׁוּב כִּי-לִי תִּכְרַע כָּל-בֶּרֶךְ תִּשָּׁבַע כָּל-לָשֽׁוֹן׃
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
תִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַֽעֲקֹב חֶסֶד לְאַבְרָהָם אֲשֶׁר-נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ מִימֵי קֶֽדֶם׃
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
ἄνθρωποι μεν γὰρ κατὰ τοῦ μείζονος ὀμνύουσιν καὶ πάσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίας πέρας εἰς βεβαίωσιν ὁ ὅρκος·
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
וְאִם לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בִּי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּי-לְחָרְבָּה יִֽהְיֶה הַבַּיִת הַזֶּֽה׃
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
כִּי בִי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּֽי-לְשַׁמָּה לְחֶרְפָּה לְחֹרֶב וְלִקְלָלָה תִּֽהְיֶה בָצְרָה וְכָל-עָרֶיהָ תִהְיֶינָה לְחָרְבוֹת עוֹלָֽם׃
For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
וְהַֽאֲבַדְתִּי אֶת-כָּל-בְּהֶמְתָּהּ מֵעַל מַיִם רַבִּים וְלֹא תִדְלָחֵם רֶֽגֶל-אָדָם עוֹד וּפַרְסוֹת בְּהֵמָה לֹא תִדְלָחֵֽם׃
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
