Sprueche 6:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:19

A false witness [that] speaketh lies
Or, "that speaketh lies, [even] a false witness" F6; and so this is distinguished from a lying tongue, the second of these evils: this is the sin of bearing false witness against one's neighbour, a breach of the eighth command. It may be rendered, "he that bloweth lies" F7; that raises lies, and spreads them abroad, and swears to them, to the damage of others. This makes the sixth; and the seventh follows, and him that soweth discord among brethren;
whether in a natural relation, or in a civil society, or in a religious community.

F6 So Vatablus, Mercerus
F7 (Mybzk xypy) "qui efflat mendacia", Piscator, Michaelis.

Sprueche 6:19 In-Context

17 Hohe Augen, eine Lügenzunge, und Hände, die unschuldiges Blut vergießen;
18 ein Herz, welches heillose Anschläge schmiedet, Füße, die eilends zum Bösen hinlaufen;
19 wer Lügen ausspricht als falscher Zeuge, und wer Zwietracht ausstreut zwischen Brüdern.
20 Mein Sohn, bewahre das Gebot deines Vaters, und verlaß nicht die Belehrung deiner Mutter;
21 binde sie stets auf dein Herz, knüpfe sie um deinen Hals.
