II. Taking the Name of the Lord in Vain
2152
A person commits perjury when he makes a promise under oath with no intention
of keeping it, or when after promising on oath he does not keep it. Perjury is
a grave lack of respect for the Lord of all speech. Pledging oneself by oath to
commit an evil deed is contrary to the holiness of the divine name.
