Deut 5,11 You shall not take the name of the LORD in vain

(Deut 5,11) You shall not take the name of the LORD in vain

[11] 'You shall not take the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not leave unpunished him who takes his name in vain.

(CCC 2142) The second commandment prescribes respect for the Lord's name. Like the first commandment, it belongs to the virtue of religion and more particularly it governs our use of speech in sacred matters.
