You're not going to find the phrase "free speech" in the Bible.
This passage is about mankind's free will to make choices, whether that's eating the forbidden fruit or blaspheming. God gives you the right to make decisions, and in his kindness He also tells you what the right decision is, but He lets you make the choice.
You're correct that saying certain things is sinful, is against God's Law, and may incur punishment from God. But God still gives you the right to say those things.
You're trying to shift the conversation from my original point which is that all of our rights are God-given not Government-given. The USA just explicitly enumerates certain rights that people have, and admits in the 9th amendment that the list is non-exhaustive.
If you disagree, that's your prerogative, and I wish you well, but you are at odds with the Founders' Declaration of Independence which states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

No. I'm refuting this idea:
Free speech is not a God-given right seeing as how God's law restricts certain speech.
