I get understanding from your precepts. Therefore I hate every false way.

That is why I esteem right all your precepts and I hate every false way.

I hate and despise falsehood and I love your law.

Do not steal. Do not deal falsely. Do not lie to one another.

Swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity. Consider the kindness that I have shown to you. Please show it to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.

There will no longer be any false visions or flattering fortune telling to the people.

The people will think it is false divination and not believe this because they have made treaties with other nations. But the king of Babylon will remind them of their sins, and they will be captured.

The visions that you see are false. The predictions you make are lies. You are wicked and evil. Your day is coming, the day of your final punishment. The sword is going to fall on your necks.

When I want to heal my people Israel and make them prosperous again, all I can see is their wickedness and the evil deeds of Samaria. They cheat one another. They break into houses and steal. They actually rob people in the streets.

Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.

You were also told that you should keep a promise (oath). Always keep your promises (vows) to Jehovah.

Soldiers also asked him: What must we do? And he said: Do not take money from any one by force. Never falsely accuse any one wrongfully and be content with your wages.

They speak evil words about you because of their extreme greed. They will exploit you with false evil words. Their judgment from long ago is not idle. Their destruction will not delay.

I know your works, and your labor, and your patience. I also know how you cannot tolerate those who are evil. You tested those who say they are apostles. They are not apostles. You found them to be liars.
