20 `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour -- a false testimony.
`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
`Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness.
`When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostacy, then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days, and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness `is' a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother: `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst, and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst; and thine eye doth not pity -- life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
and two men -- sons of worthlessness -- come in, and sit over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed God and Melech;' and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dieth;
A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.
And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.
