or careless manner. By the thoughtless mention of God in common

we dishonor Him. "Holy and awesome is His name" (Psalm 111:9).

nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in
six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

God. The fourth commandment is the only one of the ten in which
we find both the name and the title of the Lawgiver--the only one
that shows by whose authority the law is given--as it contains the
seal of God.
