Commentary on Deuteronomy 19:16–201 voice
If a false witness rise up against any man,.... In a court of judicature: to testify against him: that which is not true of him, let it be in what case it will; Aben Ezra instances in idolatry, but it holds good of any other.

- Psalms 27:12
Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
Commentary on Psalms 27:121 voice
"Do not hand me over." Here he explains what has been said; and he says two things. First, he asks to be freed from the danger of enemies. Second, he shows that he has enemies, at "For they have risen up." He says therefore, "Do …

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
Commentary on Proverbs 6:16–191 voice
There are six things that the Lord hates, etc. He more fully indicates how detestable he is to God by sowing discord. But when the Lord says "soul," He does it in a human manner, to signify that He hates such people with full intention …

- Proverbs 12:17
He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.

- Proverbs 14:5
An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.
Commentary on Proverbs 14:51 voice
These things we have said concerning those that in truth have been martyrs for Christ, but not concerning false martyrs, concerning whom the oracle speaks, "The name of the ungodly is extinguished." For "a faithful witness will not lie, but an unjust witness inflames lies." For he that departs this life in his testimony without lying, for the sake of the truth, is a faithful martyr, worthy to be believed in such things wherein he strove for the word of truth by his own blood. .

- Proverbs 14:8
The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.
Commentary on Proverbs 14:82 voices
"The wisdom of able men will understand the paths of wisdom, but the folly of fools goes in the wrong direction." Prophecy says, "To whom shall I look if not to the man who is gentle and tranquil and who trembles at my words." We have been taught that there are three forms of friendship. The first and best of these is based on virtue, since the love which proceeds from reason is firmly based. The second stands between the others and is based on mutuality. It involves mutual sharing and is beneficial to life.
