"You shall not testify against your neighbor [with] a false witness.

" 'You will not {spread} a false report. Do not lift your hand with [the] wicked to be a malicious witness.

You will stay far from a {false charge}, and do not kill [the] innocent and [the] righteous, because I will not declare [the] wicked righteous.

He said, 'I will go out and I will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You shall entice and succeed, go out and do so.'

"Look, {the hope of capturing it} is false. Will one be hurled down even at its sight?

Do not give me over to the desire of my enemies, because false witnesses have arisen against me, and [each] breathing out violence.

But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.

From your precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way.

Therefore all [your] precepts of everything I regard as right; I hate every false way.

And see if [there is] in me {the worship of false gods}, and lead me in [the] way everlasting.

whose mouth speaks falsely, and their right hand [is] a false right hand.

Rescue me and deliver me from [the] hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks falsely, and whose right hand [is] a false right hand,

a false witness who breathes lies and sends out discord between brothers.

{Fine speech} [is] not becoming a fool, {still less} [is] {false speech} for a ruler.

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

I know his insolence," {declares} Yahweh, "and his boastings [are] {false}; they act {falsely}.

Your prophets had a vision for you, false and worthless; they have not exposed your sin, to restore your fortune; they have seen oracles for you, false and misleading.

Have you not seen {a false vision} and spoken {lying divination}, and [you] said, 'Declaration of Yahweh!' but {I myself did not speak}.

when seeing a false vision for you in vain, when practicing divination for you falsely, to give you on [the] neck of [the] profane ones of [the] wicked, {whose day has come}, {the time of final punishment}.

Their heart is false; now they must bear [their] guilt. He himself will break down their altars; he will destroy their stone pillars.

[The] sword rages in his cities; it consumes his false prophets and devours because of their plans.

Do not devise evil in your hearts [against] your neighbor, and do not love {a false oath}, because all these [are] things I hate," {declares} Yahweh.
