7 “You must not take up* the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way,*+ for Jehovah will not leave the one unpunished who takes up his name in a worthless way.+

17 “And one who calls down evil upon his father and his mother is to be put to death without fail.+

28 “You must not call down evil upon God*+ nor curse a chieftain* among your people.+

12 And YOU must not swear in my name to a lie,+ so that you do profane the name of your God. I am Jehovah.

21 And each one* will certainly pass through the land* hard pressed and hungry;+ and it must occur that because he is hungry and has made himself feel indignant, he will actually call down evil upon his king and upon his God*+ and will certainly peer upward.

9 And the men were scorched with great heat, but they blasphemed the name+ of God, who has the authority+ over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give glory+ to him.
