Holy Scripture
Proverbs 20:25
A church father on this verse
“It is ruin for a man to devour the holy, etc. Since it is a sin to harm any man, how much more so when it is he who has sinned? How forty men in the Acts of the Apostles vowed that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul; and pagans often, as we read, devoted the blood of Christians to their gods.…”

Original
25It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: For in that case repentance comes after vowing.
