TSK · Leviticus 19:16

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

Keep your distance from a false charge– do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

Also seat two villains opposite him and have them testify,‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”

You plot against your brother; you slander your own brother.

The one who conceals hatred utters lies, and the one who spreads slander is certainly a fool.

The one who goes about gossiping reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with someone who is always opening his mouth.

Everyone must be on his guard around his friends. He must not even trust any of his relatives. For every one of them will find some way to cheat him. And all of his friends will tell lies about him.

But they did not find anything, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

Then they secretly instigated some men to say,“We have heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

Likewise also their wives must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in every respect.

Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good.
