New International Version (NIV)

2and if in a truthful, just and righteous way

you swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’

then the nations will invoke blessings by him

and in him they will boast.”

2And if you will swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’

In truth, in justice, and in righteousness;

Then the nations will bless themselves in Him,

And in Him they will boast.”

2And you will swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’

In truth, in justice and in righteousness;

Then the nations will bless themselves in Him,

And in Him they will glory.”

2And if you swear [your oaths], ‘As the Lord lives,’

In truth, in justice, and in righteousness,

Then the nations will bless themselves in Him,

And in Him they will glory.”

2and if you can swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’

in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,

then the nations will be blessed by Him,

and in Him they will glory.”

2Make all your promises in my name.

When you promise say, ‘You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’

Be truthful, fair and honest when you make these promises.

Then the nations will ask for blessings from me.

And they will boast about me.”
