the people of Israel, saying, "This is what Yehovah has
commanded. (2) If a man vows a vow to Yehovah, or swears
an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his
word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his
mouth. (3) "If a woman vows a vow to Yehovah and binds
herself by a pledge, while within her father's house in her
youth, (4) and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge
by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then
all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has
bound herself shall stand. (5) But if her father opposes her
on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by

and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound
herself. And Yehovah will forgive her. (9) (But any vow of a

widows in her midst. (26) Her priests have done violence to
my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made
no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have
they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean,
and they have disregarded my Sabbaths, so that I am
profaned among them. (27) Her princes in her midst are like
wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to
get dishonest gain….

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
…(28) And her prophets have smeared whitewash for them,
seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, 'Thus
says Adonay Yehovih [the Lord GOD],' when Yehovah has not
spoken. (29) The people of the land have practiced extortion
and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and
needy, and have extorted from the sojourner without justice.
(30) And I sought for a man among them who should build up
the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I
should not destroy it, but I found none. (31) Therefore I have
poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them
with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their
heads, declares Adonay Yehovih [the Lord GOD]."
P. 147
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
Eze 24:20-24 ESV Then I said to them, "The word of the
Yehovah came to me: (21) 'Say to the house of Israel, Thus
says Adonay Yehovih [the Lord GOD]: Behold, I will profane
my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your
eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your
daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. (22)
And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips,
nor eat the bread of men. (23) Your turbans shall be on your
heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or
weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to
one another. (24) Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign;
according to all that he has done you shall do. When this
comes, then you will know that I am Adonay Yehovih [the Lord
GOD].'

Eze 28:14-16 ESV You were an anointed guardian cherub. I
placed you; you were on the holy mountain of Elohim; in the
midst of the stones of fire you walked. (15) You were
blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till
unrighteousness was found in you. (16) In the abundance of
your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you
sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of
Elohim, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the
midst of the stones of fire.

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
1Ti 1:8-11 ESV Now we know that the law is good, if one
uses it lawfully, (9) understanding this, that the law is not laid
down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the
ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those
who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, (10) the
sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality,
enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to
sound doctrine, (11) in accordance with the gospel of the
glory of the blessed Theos [God] with which I have been
entrusted.

1Ti 6:20 ESV O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you.
Avoid the irreverent [profane] babble and contradictions of
what is falsely called "knowledge,"
P. 151
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
2Ti 2:14-19 ESV Remind them of these things, and charge
them before Ho Theos [God] not to quarrel about words,
which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. (15) Do your
best to present yourself to Ho Theos [God] as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling
the word of truth. (16) But avoid irreverent [profane] babble,
for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, (17)
and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are
Hymenaeus and Philetus, (18) who have swerved from the
truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened.
They are upsetting the faith of some. (19) But Ho Theos’
[God's] firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord
knows those who are his," and, "Let everyone who names the
name of the Lord depart from iniquity."
P. 152
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
Heb 12:15-29 ESV See to it that no one fails to obtain the
grace of Ho Theos [God]; that no "root of bitterness" springs
up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; (16)
that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold
his birthright for a single meal. (17) For you know that
afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was
rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought
it with tears. (18) For you have not come to what may be
touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a
tempest (19) and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose
words made the hearers beg that no further messages be
spoken to them. (20) For they could not endure the order
that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall
be stoned." (21) Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that
Moses said, "I tremble with fear."…
P. 153
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
…(21) Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I
tremble with fear." (22) But you have come to Mount Zion
and to the city of the living Theos [God], the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
(23) and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in
heaven, and to Theos [God], the judge of all, and to the spirits
of the righteous made perfect, (24) and to Jesus, the
mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that
speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. (25) See that
you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not
escape when they refused him who warned them on earth,
much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from
heaven….
P. 154
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
…(26) At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has
promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but
also the heavens." (27) This phrase, "Yet once more,"
indicates the removal of things that are shaken--that is, things
that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be
shaken may remain. (28) Therefore let us be grateful for
receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us
offer to Ho Theos [God] acceptable worship, with reverence
and awe, (29) for our Ho Theos [God] is a consuming fire.

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
Rom 1:18-32 ESV For the wrath of Theos [God] is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. (19)
For what can be known about Ho Theos [God] is plain to
them, because Ho Theos [God] has shown it to them. (20)
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and
divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the
creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So
they are without excuse. (21) For although they knew Ho
Theos [God], they did not honor him as Theos [God] or give
thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and
their foolish hearts were darkened. (22) Claiming to be wise,
they became fools, (23) and exchanged the glory of the
immortal Theos [God] for images resembling mortal man and
birds and animals and creeping things.…
P. 157
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
…(24) Therefore Ho Theos [God] gave them up in the lusts of
their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies
among themselves, (25) because they exchanged the truth
about Ho Theos [God] for a lie and worshiped and served the
creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!
Amen. (26) For this reason Ho Theos [God] gave them up to
dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural
relations for those that are contrary to nature; (27) and the
men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were
consumed with passion for one another, men committing
shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due
penalty for their error….
P. 158
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
…(28) And since they did not see fit to acknowledge Ho
Theos [God], Ho Theos [God] gave them up to a debased
mind to do what ought not to be done. (29) They were filled
with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness,
malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit,
maliciousness. They are gossips, (30) slanderers, haters of
God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient
to parents, (31) foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. (32)
Though they know Ho Theos’ [God's] decree that those who
practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but
give approval to those who practice them.
