Woe to you, blind guides, who say: if anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath. The fourth woe targets the oath-casuistry that created binding and non-binding oaths based on the specific object sworn by. The blind guides who have developed a system of oath-taking that can be manipulated to avoid binding commitment have again placed their tradition above the truth.
