Proverbs 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 19:9

A false witness shall not be unpunished
(See Gill on Proverbs 19:5); and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish;
or "be lost", shall be undone for ever; he shall not enter into the holy city, but have his part in the lake of fire: they that speak lies in hypocrisy, doctrinal ones, and are given up to believe and profess them, such shall be damned, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 2 Thessalonians 2:12 ) .

Proverbs 19:9 In-Context

7 All the relatives of the poor hate them; even more, their friends stay far from them. When they pursue them with words, they aren't there.
8 Those who acquire good sense love themselves; those who keep understanding find success.
9 False witnesses won't go unpunished, and liars will perish.
10 Luxury isn't fitting for a fool; even less so for a servant to rule over princes.
11 Insightful people restrain their anger; their glory is to ignore an offense.
