A false witness [that] speaketh lies,…. Or, “that speaketh lies, [even] a false witness” f; and so this is distinguished from a lying tongue, the second of these evils: this is the sin of bearing false witness against one’s neighbour, a breach of the eighth command. It may be rendered, “he that bloweth lies” g; that raises lies, and spreads them abroad, and swears to them, to the damage of others. This makes the sixth; and the seventh follows,
and him that soweth discord among brethren; whether in a natural relation, or in a civil society, or in a religious community.
f So Vatablus, Mercerus, &c. g “qui efflat mendacia”, Piscator, Michaelis.

Pro 6:19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Ver. 19. A false witness that speaketh lies. ] Heb., That blows abroad lies, – as with a pair of bellows; that vents them boldly and freely in open court, in the face of the country. These knights of the post can lend an oath for a need, as they did Jezebel against Naboth, and, like those in the history, will not stick to swear that their friend or foe was at Rome and Interamna both at once. God oft thundereth against such, to show his utter hatred of them, and hath threatened that the winged flying book, that is full of curses, within and without, shall overtake them ere they get home, and shall rest in the midst of their houses, to consume them with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof. Zec 5:4
And him that soweth discord.
