¹ Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

¹¹ Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

⁷ Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

¹¹ Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.

¹⁶ If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,

¹⁷ then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days;

¹⁸ and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and have testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹ then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

²⁰ And those that remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.

²¹ And thine eyes shall not pity; life `shall go' for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

⁶¹ and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁸ And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.

¹¹ Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and `against' God.

¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,

¹³ and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:

⁸ and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

³ without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

¹⁶ having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.

¹⁴ And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse `any one' wrongfully; and be content with your wages.

¹⁴ And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, `and continueth' until this day.

¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

²⁷ And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

¹⁰ and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

¹¹ And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

¹² They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹³ And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

³ He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

¹² Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.

³ What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

¹⁹ A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

¹⁷ He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.

⁴ An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; `And' a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish.

²⁸ A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

²⁸ A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

²⁸ Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.

¹⁸ A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

²³ The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

¹⁰ For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, `say' all my familiar friends, they that watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

³ And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
