Deuteronomy 19:16

New King James Version

If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,

See the chapter Copy

Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.

Fierce witnesses rise up; They ask me things that I do not know.

They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law;

A faithful witness does not lie, But a false witness will utter lies.

A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.

‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
