Under Gods Command
Proverbs 19:05 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.
We discussed this in a previous lesson. False witnessing is called perjury and is a crime. Even today in our society perjury is a crime punishable by imprisonment or fine. Even if a liar gets away with it here on earth, God know if you have lied and He will punish the guilty.
