Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.

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

Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty.

Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and He fulfilled everything Samuel prophesied.

Any hope of capturing him proves false.
Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not set his mind on what is false,
and who has not sworn deceitfully.

Do not give me over to the will of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing violence.

The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.

Place no trust in oppression,
or false hope in robbery.
If wealth increases,
pay no attention to it.

I gain understanding from Your precepts;
therefore I hate every false way.

I carefully follow all Your precepts
and hate every false way.

a lying witness who gives false testimony,
and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness, deceit.

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

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

A man giving false testimony against his neighbor
is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.

who destroys the omens of the false prophets
and makes fools of diviners;
who confounds the wise
and makes their knowledge foolishness;

But the Lord said to me, “These prophets are prophesying a lie in My name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, the deceit of their own minds.

Yet My people have forgotten Me.
They burn incense to false idols
that make them stumble in their ways
on the ancient roads
and walk on new paths, not the highway.

I am against those who prophesy false dreams”—the Lord’s declaration—“telling them and leading My people astray with their falsehoods and their boasting. It was not I who sent or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people”—this is the Lord’s declaration.

Announce to the nations;
proclaim and raise up a signal flag;
proclaim, and hide nothing.
Say: Babylon is captured;
Bel is put to shame;
Marduk is devastated;
her idols are put to shame;
her false gods, devastated.

For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘This is the Lord’s declaration,’ when the Lord did not send them, yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.

Didn’t you see a false vision and speak a lying divination when you proclaimed, ‘This is the Lord’s declaration,’ even though I had not spoken?

“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not be present in the fellowship of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, and they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

It will seem like false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn an oath to the Babylonians, but it will draw attention to their guilt so that they will be captured.

While they offer false visions
and lying divinations about you,
the time has come to put you
to the necks of the profane wicked ones;
the day has come
for your punishment.

Her prophets plaster with whitewash for them by seeing false visions and lying divinations, and they say, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

This is what the Lord God says:

I will destroy the idols and put an end
to the false gods in Memphis.
There will no longer be
a prince from the land of Egypt.
So I will instill fear in that land.

If you don’t tell me the dream, there is one decree for you. You have conspired to tell me something false or fraudulent until the situation changes. So tell me the dream and I will know you can give me its interpretation.”

They speak mere words,
taking false oaths while making covenants.
So lawsuits break out
like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
