Answer

“If I break my swear” is not correct.  You can say “If I break my word,”. “If I break my oath,” or “If I break my promise.”    “If I break my oath, I hope I will suffer” means “If I break my oath, I deserve to suffer and so I hope that I will because that is morally right.”  “If I break my oath, I will suffer” is just a factual prediction — that is, something bad will happen to you — rather than a moral statement.
