There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil, a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.

Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.

A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.

If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.

Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.

Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.

An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.

But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows, so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

The righteous hate falsehood, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.

For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me! Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.

Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!

Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.

Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.

Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”

But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.

“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head. From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

Remove me from the path of deceit and graciously grant me Your law.

influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

“Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.

Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.

The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart.

But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.

These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Like a club or sword or sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.

that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?

Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. . . .

Food gained by fraud is sweet to a man, but later his mouth is full of gravel.

And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that. Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.

Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another. You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without prey.

Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.

And the LORD said to Moses, “If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighbor or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit— once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found, or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt. . . .

For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

“Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. . . .

But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from. At dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!” (But Rahab had taken them up to the roof and hidden them among the stalks of flax that she had laid out there.)

They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.
