seven that are detestable to him:…
19 … a false witness who pours out lies

sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21 teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth,
so that you bring back truthful reports
to those you serve?

would you use your lips to mislead?

is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.

even their prayers are detestable.
