Deuteronomy 19:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of transgression:

See the chapter Copy

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.

A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
