16 “‘You must not go around among your people for the sake of slandering.+ You must not stand up against your fellow’s blood.+ I am Jehovah.

19 a false witness that launches forth lies,+ and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers.+

18 Where there is one covering over hatred there are lips of falsehood,+ and the one bringing forth a bad report is stupid.+

44 YOU are from YOUR father the Devil,+ and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father.+ That one was a manslayer when he began,+ and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie].*+
