The judge shall deliver such envelopes to the court clerk, or one of his deputies, and shall in his discretion instruct the clerk to endorse on any of such envelopes that the jury for the week shall be summoned for some other day than Monday of said week, and the judge shall, at the same time, administer to the court clerk and to each of his deputies an oath in substance as follows: "You and each of you do solemnly swear that you will not open the jury lists now delivered to you, nor permit them to be opened, until the time prescribed by law, nor communicate to anyone the name or names of persons appearing on any of the jury lists until the time a list is opened as prescribed by law at which time it shall be published, that you will not, directly or indirectly, converse or communicate with any one selected as juror concerning any case pending for trial in any of the courts at the next term. So help you God."
