17 An honest witness tells the truth; a false witness tells lies.
17 (A)Whoever speaks[a] the truth gives honest evidence, but (B)a false witness utters deceit.
19 Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed.
19 Truthful lips endure forever, but (A)a lying tongue is but for a moment.
22 The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.
22 (A)Lying lips are (B)an abomination to the Lord, (C)but those who act faithfully are his delight.
