Witness » False witnesses
Like a club and a sword and a piercing arrow
Is a man who testifies falsely against his neighbor (acquaintance).
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 perish,
But a man who listens to the truth will speak forever and go unchallenged.
