11 "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
11 "'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
11 No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won't put up with the irreverent use of his name.
11 'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
11 "You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 5:11
Commentary on Deuteronomy 5:6-22
(Read Deuteronomy 5:6-22)
There is some variation here from Luke 11. It is more necessary that we tie ourselves to the things, than to the words unalterably. The original reason for hallowing the sabbath, taken from God's resting from the work of creation on the seventh day, is not here mentioned. Though this ever remains in force, it is not the only reason. Here it is taken from Israel's deliverance out of Egypt; for that was typical of our redemption by Jesus Christ, in remembrance of which the Christian sabbath was to be observed. In the resurrection of Christ we were brought into the glorious liberty of the children of God, with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm. How sweet is it to a soul truly distressed under the terrors of a broken law, to hear the mild and soul-reviving language of the gospel!
