In Matthew 5:37, Jesus instructs us as follows:
Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one. [Matthew (5:37)]
But, that's regarding the vows that one makes.
Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut. [Proverbs 10:19, (NLT)]
Indeed. Howbeit, the protocol for God's messengers is the exact opposite.

ALL THESE WORDS
Old Testament Prophets
Therefore thou shalt speak ALL these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. [Jeremiah 7:27 (KJV)]
He said to me, “Son of man, watch and listen. Pay close attention to everything I show you. You have been brought here so I can show you many things. Then you will return to the people of Israel and tell them everything you have seen.” [Ezekiel 40:4 (NLT)]

New Testament Prophets
¹⁶"Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. Tell people that you have seen me, and tell them what I will show you in the future ¹⁷And I will rescue you from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending you to the Gentiles ¹⁸to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me." [Acts 26:16-18 (NLT)]
Moreover,
You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious! [Ezekiel 2:7 (NLT)]
But God, I will appear to be demonic, and people will call me crazy because it'll look like I'm talking to myself.
