“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.”
Proverbs 19:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 19:9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish. This verse intensifies verse 5 - false witnesses don't merely face punishment but perish. The escalation from 'not be unpunished' to 'shall perish' (avad - be destroyed, lost) emphasizes the ultimate stakes. Persistent lying leads to destruction, temporal and eternal. This doesn't promise immediate death but ultimate fate - liars' destiny is destruction unless they repent.
