Cursing

The word curse is in the Bible a number of times. What is the correct teaching of the word curse in the Bible?

Cursing is using God’s name to wish evil on someone or something (Numbers 22:6-12; 2 Samuel 16:5-14). Cursing is a violation of God’s Second Commandment.

The Bible teaches us to use God’s name to bless others and not curse (Romans 12:14; James 3:10).
