Put away from you a deceitful (lying, misleading) mouth,
And put devious lips far from you.

And strangers will be filled with your strength
And your hard-earned wealth will go to the house of a foreigner [who does not know God];

A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to the Lord,
But an accurate scale is His delight.

He who speaks truth [when he testifies] tells what is right,
But a false witness utters deceit [in court].

A faithful and trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness speaks lies.

A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes out lies will not escape.

A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes lies will perish.

Differing weights are detestable and offensive to the Lord,
And fraudulent scales are not good.

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

Like a club and a sword and a piercing arrow
Is a man who testifies falsely against his neighbor (acquaintance).
