19:5A false witness14 will not go unpunished,
and the one who spouts out15 lies will not escape punishment.16
Footnotes
- 14 Heb “a witness of lies.” This expression is an attributive genitive: “a lying witness” (cf. “dishonest witnesses”). This is paralleled by “the one who pours out lies.”
- 15 Heb “breathes out”; “utters”; “pours out.”
- 16 Heb “will not escape” (so , ); “will not go free.” Here “punishment” is implied, and has been supplied in the translation for clarity. This proverb is a general statement, because on occasion there are false witnesses who go unpunished in this life (e.g., Prov 6:19; 14:5, 25; 19:9). The Talmud affirms, “False witnesses are contemptible even to those who hire them” ( Sanhedrin 29b).
