Deuteronomy 5:9-11

Living Bible

^9-10 You shall not bow down to any images nor worship them in any way, for I am the Lord your God. I am a jealous God, and I will bring the curse of a father’s sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children of those who hate me; but I will show kindness to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

¹¹ “‘You must never use my name to make a vow you don’t intend to keep.^[a] I will not overlook that.
