Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses his name.
Fear the Lord your God, worship him, and take your oaths in his name.
Do not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God; I am the Lord.
Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your ‘yes’ mean ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ mean ‘no,’ so that you won’t fall under judgement.
then you can swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’ in truth, justice, and righteousness, and then the nations will be blessed by him and will boast in him.
You are to fear the Lord your God and worship him. Remain faithful to him and take oaths in his name.
Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
