but a false witness tells lies.

⁵An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.

²⁵A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.

²⁸Do not testify against your neighbour without cause –
would you use your lips to mislead?

for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

¹¹Ruthless witnesses come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
