haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who spreads discord among family members.

The one who conceals hatred utters lies, and the one who spreads slander is certainly a fool.

The wicked person earns deceitful wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a genuine reward.

The faithful witness tells what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.

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

The Lord abhors a person who lies, but those who deal truthfully are his delight.

The righteous person hates anything false, but the wicked person acts in shameful disgrace.

A truthful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.

A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will not escape punishment.

A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will perish.

Bread gained by deceit tastes sweet to a person, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.

Making a fortune by a lying tongue is like a vapor driven back and forth; they seek death.

Like cloudy skies and wind that produce no rain, so is the one who boasts of a gift not given.

A lying tongue hates those crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his ministers will be wicked.

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

Excessive speech is not becoming for a fool; how much less are lies for a ruler!

Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow, so is the one who testifies against his neighbor as a false witness.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
