Commentary
Commentary on Proverbs 6:19
Theological / DevotionalA false witness. A false witness is a lying tongue that brings unfounded accusations. It is this type of lying that is expressly forbidden by the ninth commandment (Ex. 20:16). Perjury is used to shelter the wrongdoer as well as to oppress the innocent. When justice is perverted by such conniving, it works havoc in a community, both by the direct harm it does and by creating a cynical contempt for law and order.
Soweth discord. Last comes the one who takes a delight in stirring up strife. Some of these mischief-makers tell no lies, yet they produce as much commotion and disharmony as does a liar.
