Deuteronomy 5:11 in Context — Deuteronomy 5

9 Tu ne te prosterneras point devant elles, et tu ne les serviras point; car moi, l’Éternel, ton Dieu, je suis un Dieu jaloux, qui punis l’iniquité des pères sur les enfants jusqu’à la troisième et à la quatrième génération de ceux qui me haïssent,

10 et qui fais miséricorde jusqu’en mille générations à ceux qui m’aiment et qui gardent mes commandements.

11 Tu ne prendras point le nom de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, en vain; car l’Éternel ne laissera point impuni celui qui prendra son nom en vain.

12 Observe le jour du repos, pour le sanctifier, comme l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te l’a ordonné.

13 Tu travailleras six jours, et tu feras tout ton ouvrage.
