Spreuken 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.

F7 (Mybzk xypy) "qui efflat mendacia", Piscator, Michaelis.

Spreuken 6:19 In-Context

17 Hoge ogen, een valse tong, en handen, die onschuldig bloed vergieten;
18 Een hart, dat ondeugdzame gedachten smeedt; voeten, die zich haasten, om tot kwaad te lopen;
19 Een vals getuige, die leugenen blaast; en die tussen broederen krakelen inwerpt.
20 Mijn zoon, bewaar het gebod uws vaders, en verlaat de wet uwer moeder niet.
21 Bind ze steeds aan uw hart, hecht ze aan uw hals.
