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.

May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!

Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me! Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes!
