God is not a man, that he should lie; nor a son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken, and shall he not fulfill it?

¹⁶ Six things there are which the Lord hateth; and seven are an abomination unto his spirit:

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a tongue of falsehood, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ A heart that contriveth plans of injustice, feet that hasten to run after evil,

¹⁹ A false witness that eagerly uttereth lies, and him that scattereth abroad discord among brethren.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehoods shall not succeed before my eyes.

Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny another’s property in your hands, nor lie one to another.

The getting of treasures by a tongue of falsehood is like the fleeting breath of those that seek death.

To the chief musician, by David, a psalm. O God of my praise, do not keep silence.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken with me with the tongue of falsehood.

An abomination of the Lord are lips of falsehood; but they that deal in faithfulness obtain his favor.

The remnant of Israel shall not do injustice, nor speak lies; and there shall not be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue; for they shall feed and lie down, with none to make them afraid.

A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness constantly uttereth lies.

High–toned language is not seemly to a worthless fool: and yet much less the language of falsehood to a noble.
