¹ Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.

⁵ I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

⁵ A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will not go free.

¹¹ False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.

¹⁶ Do not give false witness against your neighbour.

⁷ Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.

¹¹ Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

¹⁶ Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

²⁰ Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

¹⁶ If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,

¹⁷ Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;

¹⁸ And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,

¹⁹ Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.

²⁰ And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such evil among you.

²¹ Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

⁸ And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

¹¹ Then they got men to say, He has said evil against Moses and against God, in our hearing.

¹² And the people, with the rulers and the scribes, were moved against him, and they came and took him before the Sanhedrin,

¹³ And they got false witnesses who said, This man is for ever saying things against this holy place and against the law:

⁸ Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

²⁵ And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

³ Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

¹⁶ Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

¹⁰ And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.

¹⁴ And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.

¹⁴ And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

¹⁸ He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

²⁷ He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

¹⁰ And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

¹¹ So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.

¹² They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.

¹³ And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.

³ Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

¹² Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.

³ What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

¹⁹ A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.

¹⁸ Hate is covered up by the lips of the upright man, but he who lets out evil about another is foolish.

¹⁷ The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.

⁴ A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue.

⁹ A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will be cut off.

²⁸ A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.

²⁸ A false witness will be cut off, ...

²⁸ Do not be a violent witness against your neighbour, or let your lips say what is false.

¹⁸ One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow.

²³ As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

¹⁰ For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

³ And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.
