What the Bible says about lying? [View all]

Proverbs 19:5

“A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.”

John 8:44

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
