Heidelberg Catechism
Question 100. Is the profaning of God’s name, by swearing and cursing, so grievous a sin that His wrath is kindled against those also who do not help as much as they can to hinder and forbid it?
Answer. Yes, truly,[1] for no sin is greater and more provoking to God than the profaning of His name; wherefore He even commanded it to be punished with death.[2]
[1] Lev 5:1; [2] Lev 19:12, 24:15-16; Prov 29:24-25
