Proverbs 6:19

A false witness that speaketh lies ,.... Or, "that speaketh lies, even a false witness" F6 So Vatablus, Mercerus, &c.; ; and so this is distinguished from a lying tongue, the second of these evils: this is the sin of bearing false witness against one's neighbour, a breach of the eighth command. It may be rendered, "he that bloweth lies" F7 יפיח כזבים "qui efflat mendacia", Piscator, Michaelis. ; that raises lies, and spreads them abroad, and swears to them, to the damage of others. This makes the sixth; and the seventh follows,

and him that soweth discord among brethren ; whether in a natural relation, or in a civil society, or in a religious community.
