11 לֹא תִשָּׂא אֶת־שֵׁם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לַשָּׁוְא כִּי לֹא יְנַקֶּה יְהוָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יִשָּׂא אֶת־שְׁמֹו לַשָּׁוְא׃ ס


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 11. Good and truth must not be profaned (by believing the truth and doing evil, or by doing good from a hypocritical or selfish motive), for thereby what is spiritual in the soul is hopelessly destroyed by being conjoined to its opposite, and a state induced that cannot be healed.
