13 Jehovah your God you should fear,+ and him you should serve,*+ and by his name you should swear.+

2 And [if] you will certainly swear,+ ‘As Jehovah is alive in truth,+ in justice and in righteousness!’+ then in him* the nations will actually bless themselves, and in him they will boast about themselves.”+

16 “And it must occur that if they will without fail learn the ways of my people in swearing by my name,+ ‘As Jehovah is alive!’ just as they taught my people to swear by Baʹal,+ they will also be built up in the midst of my people.+
