Proverbs 12:17

⁵A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.

²⁵A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.

¹⁹a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

²⁸Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.

¹⁹For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

²⁸A false witness will perish. A man who listens speaks to eternity.

²⁸A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

¹⁴Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house? ¹⁵Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”

¹⁶having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
