Discord.js - if message includes, case insensitive

I want to block swear words using my Discord Bot. So, I've created a JSON file of the ones I want to block and named it swear_words. As a test, I've added sware to test. Then I include it at the top of my bot.js file:

const { swear_words, mute_content } = require(`./swear-words.json`);

And then my blocking code, at the bottom:

client.on(`message`, message => {
    for (var i=0; i < swear_words.length; i++) {
        if (message.content.includes(swear_words[i])) {
            message.delete();
            message.channel.send(mute_content);
            console.log("Someone tried to swear.");
        }
    }
});

That works when I type sware, but not Sware. So I add swear_words.prototype.toLowerCase() to make:

if (message.content.includes(swear_words.prototype.toLowerCase() === swear_words[i])) {}

and then I get:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined

What is this? Can it not read my JSON?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Use .toLowerCase( ) on the message content, as it returns a string.

if (message.content.toLowerCase( ).includes(swear_words[i])) {
