¹⁶Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

¹Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

²If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

³Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

⁴Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

¹¹Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

¹²And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

¹⁶Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

⁴But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

³⁴How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

⁴My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

⁵If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

⁶Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

³³If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

⁴For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

⁶Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

⁹For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

²They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

³The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

³Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

¹³Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

¹⁹Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

²⁰Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

²Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

⁴Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

²¹The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

²³But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

³The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

⁴They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
