That he follows proper procedure is the image of Creon left by his final words to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon has to place Oedipus, his brother-in-law and former royal colleague, under house arrest. He must await the decision of the gods as to how to punish Oedipus for criminal acts and immoral behavior. He needs to draw upon all the strength that he can find within his character to withstand Oedipus' alternately domineering and wheedling attempts to have things go his way.
It helps establish Creon as a foil for Oedipus.
The contrast between these statements sets up Creon as a foil for Oedipus and highlights Oedipus's hamartia.

Theban King Oedipus curses the killer[s] of Theban King Laius with execution or exile as punishment. Oedipus promises the people of Thebes that the sentence will be carried out even should the perpetrator[s] be found within the royal household. Oedipus' brother-in-law and uncle, Theban King Creon, describes this cursed promise as no idle words.

"I am not wont to utter idle words" 1570
Examples of foreshadowing and of irony relate Oedipus' "hamartia" and Creon's description of him as not known for idle words in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, "hamartia" may refer to an error in judgment. Theban King Oedipus says that he will make sure that execution or exile is the fate of Laius' killer even if the guilty person is found to be a member of the royal household. Creon knows that Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, says what he means and means what he says. Ironically, the killer is found to be a royal, and the punishment will be carried out, but in an unexpected quarter.
i am not wont to utter idle words #yudith apex :D
That Oedipus means what he says and says what he means and that the matter is serious is the relationship between Oedipus' curse on Laius' murderer and Creon's statement that Oedipus does not speak idle words in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus takes it upon himself to extend the divinely defined scope of the investigation into King Laius' murder. Divine will as expressed through the Delphic oracle merely states that the guilty must be executed or exiled. Oedipus extends the punishment option to those who are not forthcoming with information or who harbor or help the guilty. He actually cannot make that pronouncement since the type and applicability of punishment is a divine decision. Additionally, he acts to remove all mitigating circumstances by his overstepping zeal.
Conciliatory, practical and straightforward are the first impressions of Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta demonstrates a conciliatory nature in promoting peace between Creon and Oedipus. She exhibits practicality in analyzing the source and course of the disagreement between her brother and her second husband. She expresses straightforwardness in not mincing her words.
That he refuses to listen to reason and that he will not give up on a murder investigation are ways in which Oedipus is stubborn in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, stubbornness refers to an unwillingness to change words, thoughts or deeds in accordance with shifting circumstances. This description fits Theban King Oedipus. For example, he refuses to listen to Creon's reasonable self-defense against the unreasonable charge of conspiracy to commit treason. This is not at all admirable. But his stubbornness is admirable when he persists in carrying the investigation into King Laius' murder to its dreadful conclusion.
