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

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

¹⁴ Frowardness `is' in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

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

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

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

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

⁹ I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them -- Diotrephes -- doth not receive us;

¹⁰ because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he doth, with evil words prating against us; and not content with these, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and those intending he doth forbid, and out of the assembly he doth cast.

¹⁸ and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

¹⁴ and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

²³ and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

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

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,

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

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;

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;

¹⁴ and they send unto Jezebel, saying, `Naboth was stoned, and is dead.'

¹⁵ And it cometh to pass, at Jezebel's hearing that Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel saith unto Ahab, `Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to thee for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead.'

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

²⁸ A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

¹⁰ Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.

²⁰ Without wood is fire going out, And without a tale-bearer, contention ceaseth,

¹⁹ for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:

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