Deuteronomy 19:16

New American Bible - revised edition

If a hostile witness rises against someone to accuse that person of wrongdoing,

See the chapter Copy

Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes; malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.

Malicious witnesses rise up, accuse me of things I do not know.

A trustworthy witness does not lie, but one who spouts lies makes a lying witness.

The false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever utters lies will not escape.

They presented false witnesses who testified, “This man never stops saying things against [this] holy place and the law.

You shall not bear dishonest witness against your neighbor.
