Deuteronomy 19:16

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

If you accuse someone of a crime, but seem to be lying,

See the chapter Copy

Don't let them do to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make terrible threats,

Liars accuse me of crimes I know nothing about.

An honest witness tells the truth; a dishonest witness tells nothing but lies.

Dishonest witnesses and liars won't escape punishment.

Some men agreed to tell lies about Stephen, and they said, “This man keeps on saying terrible things about this holy temple and the Law of Moses.

Do not tell lies about others.
