I'm reading through Jeremiah, which I don't think I had ever done. I'm seeing so much evidence here that we are to keep Torah. It's really been an eye opening read.
I do wonder... Exactly how is "as Adonai lives!" Used properly? We are not to say his name in vain, so how would this swear be used? At births? At great experiences? Were you raised with this saying? Do you use it yourself and how?
A parallelism in Genesis 45:18-20 describes the exile of Israel followed by her redemption and restoration. See this related #chiasm in Psalm 81 also.

“Sh'ma, Yisra-el: Yehovah Eloheinu, Yehovah Echad.
Love [obey] Yehovah Eloheikha with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Devarim 6:4-9 (Deuteronomy)
