Lie to

"How could you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord?" Peter asked her. "Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and these men will carry you outside as well."

You've asked, "What does God know? Can he sort through pitch black darkness?'

They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."

"How terrible it will be for you who go to great depths to hide your plans from the LORD, you whose deeds have been done in the dark, and who say, "Who can see us? Who has recognized us?'

If a person hides himself in secret places, will I not see him?" declares the LORD. "I fill the heavens and the earth, do I not?" declares the LORD.

"Ephraim surrounds me with lies, and the house of Israel surrounds me with deceit, But Judah still rules with God, and remains faithful, along with the godly ones."

To keep

"When a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath an obligation that is binding to himself he is not to break his word. Instead, he is to fulfill whatever promise came out of his mouth.'"

"When you make a vow to the LORD your God, don't delay paying it, because the LORD your God will certainly demand payment from you, and then you will be guilty of sin.

It is a trap for a person to declare quickly, "This is sacred," and only later to have second thoughts about the vows.

When you make a promise to God, don't fail to keep it, since he isn't pleased with fools. Keep what you promise

as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal?
