Proverbs 6:19–21

⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

¹⁴Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

¹⁸And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

¹⁶¶ If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

¹⁷Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

¹⁸And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

²⁰And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

¹⁴But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁵This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁶For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

¹⁸A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

²³But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

¹³And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

¹⁷He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

¹⁰Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

²⁰Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

¹⁰And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

¹¹And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹³And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

¹⁵¶ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

⁹I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

¹⁰Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

²⁸A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

¹⁶Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

¹THOU shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

¹⁹For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

¹¹False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

¹CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

¹⁶Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

¹MY son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

²Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

³Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

⁴Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

⁸My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

²²Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

¹⁸¶ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

¹¹There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

³Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

³Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

⁴Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

³Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

⁸And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

¹⁶And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.

⁶Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

²¹Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
