“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. unpunished: Heb. held innocent”
Proverbs 19:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 19:5
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape. This promise guarantees consequences for perjury and falsehood. The emphatic double negative ('not unpunished,' 'not escape') ensures certainty - liars will face judgment. While human justice may fail, divine justice never does. The ninth commandment's violation brings inescapable consequences. This grounds truthfulness in both moral obligation and pragmatic self-interest - lying brings punishment.
