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.

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.

Make the work harder for the men so they will keep at it and pay no attention to lying words!”

Keep your distance from a false charge – do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me.

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!

For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.

Arrogant people smear my reputation with lies, but I observe your precepts with all my heart.

For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.

Grab me and rescue me from the power of foreigners, who speak lies, and make false promises.

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!
