In context

19 Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.

20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.

21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.

22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.

23 Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
