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"}
