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 ) .
