'Tells' in the Bible

For my mouth tells the truth,and wickedness is detestable to my lips.

He who speaks truth tells what is right,But a false witness, deceit.

The one who tells the truth will endure forever, but the one who lies will last only for a moment.

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

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

[The judge tells the creditor], “Take the clothes of one who is surety for a stranger;And hold him in pledge [when he guarantees a loan] for foreigners.”

[The judge tells the creditor,] “Take the garment of one who is surety (guarantees a loan) for a stranger;And hold him in pledge when he is surety for an immoral woman [for it is unlikely the debt will be repaid].”

He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;He hears the oath but tells nothing.
