Deuteronomy 19:16

Modern King James Version

If a false witness rises up against any man to testify a falling away against him,

See the chapter Copy

Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and he that breathes out cruelty.

Cruel witnesses rose up; they asked of me that which I never knew.

And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.

A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness will speak lies.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and a breather of lies shall not escape.

And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
