James 5:12
To swear means to take an oath... Oath in Greek looks a little like the horizon... which is the line where the world stops. Oath means that - to draw a line and set up a fence. This is where it stops. Maybe one of the reasons God doesn't want us to swear by any of his magnificent creation is that neither heaven nor earth - and definitely not God Himself - shall be fenced in by our little words.
