Deuteronomy 19:16

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

If a false witness rises up against any man to accuse him of wrongdoing,

See the chapter Copy

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.

Malicious and unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.

A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness breathes out falsehoods.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes out lies shall not escape. [Exod. 23:1; Deut. 19:16-19; Prov. 6:19; 21:28.]

And they brought forward false witnesses who asserted, This man never stops making statements against this sacred place and the Law [of Moses];

Neither shall you witness falsely against your neighbor.
