Commentary on Proverbs 14:5
A 'faithful witness' speaks truth, while a 'false witness' breathes out lies. The Hebrew 'kazab' (lies/deception) is parallel to breathing—lying is as natural to the false witness as respiration. This connects to the ninth commandment against bearing false witness (Exodus 20:16). Reformed theology emphasizes that truth-telling reflects God's character, while lying reflects Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44). In covenant community, reliability in testimony is essential for justice and trust. Our words must have integrity because we serve the God of truth.
