A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever breathes out lies will not escape.
In context
3A man’s own folly wrecks his way, and then his heart rages against Yahweh. 4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor man is deserted by the friend he had. 5A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever breathes out lies will not escape. 6Many court the favor of a noble, and everyone is friend to a man who gives. 7All the brothers of a poor man hate him—how much further off, then, his friends. He goes after them with words, and words are all he has.
