Where is

Then the king called Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s grandson.

You have removed lover and friend far from me;
My acquaintances are in darkness.

Do not trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard your lips.

To day

Then Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely,

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;
It takes away the life of its possessors.

A false witness will perish,
But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.

But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

Until another comes and examines him.
