He who speaks truth declares righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
A fool’s anger is soon known: but a prudent man covers shame.
There is the man who speaks like the piercing of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
A true witness delivers souls: but a deceitful witness speaks lies.
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will speak lies.
An ungodly witness scorns justice: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
A false witness shall perish: but the man that hears speaks constantly.
Do not be a witness against your neighbor without a cause; and do not deceive with your lips.
A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
These are the things that you shall do; Speak every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

Having a good conscience; that, although they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ.
