You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
those who speak of you maliciously, and lift themselves up against you for evil!
and if you swear, “As the Lord lives!” in truth, in justice, and in uprightness, then nations shall be blessed by him, and by him they shall boast.
Swearing, lying, and murder, and stealing and adultery break out; bloodshed follows bloodshed.
And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the Lord.
You shall fear the Lord your God; him alone you shall worship; to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear.
The Lord your God you shall fear; him you shall serve, and by his name alone you shall swear.
Above all, my beloved, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
