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 ) .

7 When you're down on your luck, even your family avoids you - yes, even your best friends wish you'd get lost. If they see you coming, they look the other way - out of sight, out of mind.

8 Grow a wise heart - you'll do yourself a favor; keep a clear head - you'll find a good life.

9 The person who tells lies gets caught; the person who spreads rumors is ruined.

10 Blockheads shouldn't live on easy street any more than workers should give orders to their boss.

11 Smart people know how to hold their tongue; their grandeur is to forgive and forget.
