A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
– Proverbs 14:5
Truth telling is the character of a
faithful witness, just as deceit is of a
false witness (Proverbs 12:17; 13:5). The word for
utter means to breathe out and the picture is one a habitual liar. A faithful witness will not lie and cannot be bribed to. The false witness needs no incentive, but lies readily. The lies of a false witness are an abomination to God (Proverbs 6:19).
