Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.

“Which ones?” he asked Him. Jesus answered:

Do not murder;
do not commit adultery;
do not steal;
do not bear false witness;

“You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness.

who does not slander with his tongue,
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,

A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies will not escape.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus so they could put Him to death.

“You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit.

“You must not steal. You must not act deceptively or lie to one another.

You must not go about spreading slander among your people; you must not jeopardize your neighbor’s life; I am Yahweh.

“One witness cannot establish any wrongdoing or sin against a person, whatever that person has done. A fact must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

That’s why all of you have conspired against me! Nobody tells me when my own son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you cares about me or tells me that my son has stirred up my own servant to wait in ambush for me, as is the case today.”

Then seat two wicked men opposite him and have them testify against him, saying, “You have cursed God and the king!” Then take him out and stone him to death.

I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbor;
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

A gossip goes around revealing a secret,
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

They also presented false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.

All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.

for the sexually immoral and homosexuals, for kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching

unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good,

Don’t criticize one another, brothers. He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
