And he that ^[a]uttereth lies shall not escape.

And he that ^[a]uttereth lies shall perish.

²² That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness;
And a poor man is better than a liar.

²⁸ A worthless witness mocketh at justice;
And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

¹⁸ A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor
Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
