Proverbs13:5
5. A righteous man hateth lying : but a wicked man is loathsom, and cometh to shame .
Both in himself and in other men, whereby he getteth that good name which is like a pretious Ointment.
Who accustometh himself to lying, as may be gathered from the foregoing words.
Makes himself contemptible and hateful to all that know him; there being scarce any reproach which men more impatiently endure, and severely revenge, than that of being called or accounted a Lyar.
Marginal references: Or, causeth stench & shame.
