Exodus 20:16

Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Ver. 16. Thou shalt not bear false witness. ] Neither bear it, nor hear it; raise, nor receive wrong reports of another; Deu 19:16 make a lie, nor love it when it is made. Rev 22:15 The truth must be spoken, and that in love. Doeg had a false tongue, though he spoke nothing but truth against David. Psa 120:3 See Trapp (for summary of Law) on " Exo 20:17 "
