“A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.”
Proverbs 25:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:18
A man bearing false witness against his neighbor is like a club, sword, or sharp arrow. The Hebrew 'ed sheqer' (false witness) and weapons imagery emphasize destructive power. False testimony devastates like physical weapons. Lies injure profoundly - destroying reputations, relationships, lives. The ninth commandment ('Thou shalt not bear false witness') protects against this violence. Speech can wound as deeply as weapons; truthfulness is moral imperative.
