¹ `Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness.

⁵ Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

⁵ A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.

¹¹ Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

¹⁶ `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

⁷ from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.

¹¹ `Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.

¹⁶ `Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I `am' Jehovah.

²⁰ `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour -- a false testimony.

¹⁶ `When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostacy,

¹⁷ then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,

¹⁸ and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness `is' a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:

¹⁹ `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,

²⁰ and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;

²¹ and thine eye doth not pity -- life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

⁶⁰ and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near,

⁶¹ said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.'

⁸ And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'

¹¹ then they suborned men, saying -- `We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.'

¹² They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon `him', they caught him, and brought `him' to the sanhedrim;

¹³ they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law,

⁸ and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

³ without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night;

¹⁴ And questioning him also were those warring, saying, `And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, `Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'

¹⁴ and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.'

¹⁵ And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.

¹⁸ He saith to him, `What kind?' 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 uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king `is' as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine eyes,

¹⁰ and cause two men -- sons of worthlessness -- to sit over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and Melech; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dieth.'

¹¹ And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel hath sent unto them, as written in the letters that she sent unto them,

¹² they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people,

¹³ and two men -- sons of worthlessness -- come in, and sit over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed God and Melech;' and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dieth;

³ He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

¹² Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

³ What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

¹⁹ A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

¹⁸ Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.

¹⁷ Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.

⁴ An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.

⁹ A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.

²⁸ A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

²⁸ A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever speaketh.

²⁸ Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips.

¹⁸ A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, `Is' the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.

²³ A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue -- indignant faces.

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear `is' round about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching `for' my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'

³ And the king saith, `And where `is' the son of thy lord?' and Ziba saith unto the king, `Lo, he is abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day do the house of Israel give back to me the kingdom of my father.'
