7. Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.
8. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy:
9. You are to labor six days and do all your work,
10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work — you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
11. For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.

15. Do not steal.
16. Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
