Deuteronomy 19:16

A Conservative Version

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

See the chapter Copy

Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. For FALSE witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up, they ask me of things that I know not.

And they put forward FALSE witnesses who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous sayings against the holy place, and the law.

A faithful witness will not lie, but a FALSE witness utters lies.

A FALSE witness shall not be unpunished, and he who utters lies shall not escape.

Neither shall thou bear FALSE witness against thy neighbor.
