NETBible

A truthful witness¹ does not lie, but a false witness² breathes out lies.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “a witness of faithfulness.” The genitive functions in an attributive sense: “faithful witness” (so KJV, NRSV); TEV “reliable witness.”

²tn Heb “a witness of falsehood.” The genitive functions in an attributive sense: “false witness.”

³sn This saying addresses the problem of legal testimony: A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness does lie – naturally. The first colon uses the verb כָּזַב (kazav, “to lie”) and the second colon uses the noun כָּזָב (kazav, “lie; falsehood”).
