'Profess' in the Bible

" 'And you will be attentive to all that I have said to you, and you will not {profess} the name of other gods; it will not be heard in your mouth.

so as not to go among these remaining nations with you; {do not profess} the name of their gods, and do not swear by them, serve them, or {bow down to them}.

I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who profess Yahweh have no rest.

but with good deeds which are fitting for women who profess godliness.

They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny [him], [because they] are detestable and disobedient, and unfit for every good deed.
