Zechariah 5:3-4
5:3 The speaker went on to say, “This is a curse
traveling across the whole earth. For example, according to the curse whoever steals
will be removed from the community; or on the other hand (according to the curse) whoever swears falsely will suffer the same fate.”
5:4 “I will send it out,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “and it will enter the house of the thief and of the person who swears falsely in my name. It will land in the middle of his house and destroy both timber and stones.”
Jeremiah 4:2
4:2 You must be truthful, honest and upright
when you take an oath saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’
If you do, the nations will pray to be as blessed by him as you are
and will make him the object of their boasting.”
Malachi 3:5
3:5 “I will come to you in judgment. I will be quick to testify against those who practice divination, those who commit adultery, those who break promises, and those who exploit workers, widows, and orphans, who refuse to help the immigrant and in this way show they do not fear me,” says the Lord who rules over all.
