Proverbs24:28
28 * Be not witness against thy neigbour without cause : and deceive not with thy lips.
Either in judgment or in private conversation.
Rashly or falsly, without just and sufficient cause.
Neither thy Neighbour, to whom thou hast made a shew of friendship, nor the Judge, nor any other hearers with false information. Or, this clause forbids flattering him to his face, as the former forbids standering him behind his back.
Marginal references: Gr. be not wide in thy lips.
