And do not swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’

and do not swear an oath: As the Lord lives!

“Though you, Israel, are a prostitute,

may Judah not be guilty of such things.

Do not join the false worship at Gilgal or Beth-aven,

and do not take oaths there in the Lord’s name.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

do not let Judah become guilty;

do not enter Gilgal,

and do not swear,

“As Yahweh lives!”

Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,

Yet let not Judah offend;

And come not ye unto Gilgal,

Neither go ye up to Beth-aven,

Nor swear, The Lord liveth.
