Exodus 20:16

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

“ ‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’ ”

Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.

in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

A false witness will perish. A man who listens speaks to eternity.

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.

Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.

For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to Yahweh’s word.”

he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.

You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.

He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

“Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.

“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

“You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

The men said to her, “Our life for yours, if you don’t talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”

Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

“ ‘You shall not steal. “ ‘You shall not lie. “ ‘You shall not deceive one another.

“ ‘You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people. “ ‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.

But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.

One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.

A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.

Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
