Ex 20:7 & Ps 24:4 - bearing falsely

I ain't got no Hebrew, I'm afraid, but John Frame points out an interesting parallel between the 3rd commandment (Ex 20:7) and Psalm 24:4.

Ex 20:7 - You shall not bear (nasa') the name of the LORD your God in vain (shav').

Ps 24:4 - He who ... does not lift up (nasa') his soul to an idol or swear by what is false (shav').

The Doctrine of the Christian Life, p494
