“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.”
Matthew 5:36 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 5:36
You cannot even control your hair color naturally (in ancient times without dye), so how can you swear by your own head? This illustrates human powerlessness and God's sovereignty over even small details. Since you control nothing ultimately, speak humbly and truthfully, recognizing your limitations.
