Whatever you say as either in an oath, or
a verbal promise, you really need to keep it
by doing it and avoid breaking your word.
Why? When you make a holy vow as to the
LORD or a spoken agreement, your mouth
has connected your soul to a set of action(s).
"Be slow to speak and quick to listen" is not
just an recommendation, it is a life-path of
keeping your soul free from bondage. How?
Your verbal promises instantly bind words
into your soul just as bookmarks are saved
in a browser. They become reference points
of (yet) to-do that are never deleted from your
soul-life.
In this way, they can either boost your own
testimony as a victorious journey, or potentially
bring shame, guilt and remorse into your heart.
Your conscience, therefore, is working very
closely with everything out of your mouth in
order to monitor so as to approve or condemn
your soul.
This is why men who consistently break their
promises will deaden their conscience and so
doing eventually sell their soul to emptiness,
poverty and bondage.
Numbers 30:2 KJV
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with
a bond; he shall not break his word, he
shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.

Numbers 30:2-4, 10, 12 KJV
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with
a bond; he shall not break his word,
he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth. [v3] If a woman also vow
a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by
a bond, [being] in her father's house in her
youth; [v4] And her father hear her vow,
and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace
at her: then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul shall stand. [v10] And if she vowed in
her husband's house, or bound her soul by
a bond with an oath; [v12] But if her husband
hath utterly made them void on the day he
heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded
out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not
stand: her husband hath made them void;
and the LORD shall forgive her.
