Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 14:5

5 A faithful witness will not lie , but a false witness will utter lies .

To wit, in common discourse and conversation, whereby he sheweth his love to truth, and giveth assurance that when he is called to be a Witness, he will be true and faithful.

Or, as the words lie in the Hebrew, And, or But he that will utter lies (that accustometh himself to lying) is or will be a false Witness, when occasion requires it. Having debauched his Conscience by daily lying he is thereby prepared and disposed to false-witness-bearing. Compare Prov. 12. 17.
