Exodus 20:7 (WEB) = “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain."
You are not on the topic, so I'd question your ability to take aim.
Taking Yahweh's name in vain is saying something like "God is my witness" or something equally stupid like "I swear to tell the truth so help me God" in court.
Yeshua said in Matthew 5:34-37 (TLB) = "34 But I say: Don’t make any vows! And even to say ‘By heavens!’ is a sacred vow to God, for the heavens are God’s throne. 35 And if you say ‘By the earth!’ it is a sacred vow, for the earth is his footstool. And don’t swear ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the capital of the great King. 36 Don’t even swear ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong."
