Proverbios 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.

Proverbios 6:19 In-Context

17 Los ojos altivos, la lengua mentirosa, las manos derramadoras de sangre inocente,

18 el corazón que maquina pensamientos inicuos, los pies presurosos para correr al mal,

19 el testigo falso que habla mentiras, y el que enciende rencillas entre los hermanos.

20 Guarda, hijo mío, el mandamiento de tu padre, y no dejes la ley de tu madre;

21 átala siempre en tu corazón, enlázala a tu cuello.
