A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
Una persona que miente sobre su prójimo en el tribunal es como una maza, una espada y una flecha afilada.
Mentir sobre otros en juicio es como usar armas peligrosas que causan gran daño.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Book of Proverbs is a collection of wise sayings attributed to King Solomon, offering practical guidance for living a godly life in ancient Israel. In that society, bearing false witness was a serious offense, as it broke the Ninth Commandment and could result in severe consequences like wrongful punishment or social chaos. This proverb uses metaphors of weapons to highlight how lies destroy relationships and communities, reflecting the high value placed on truth in a culture where oral testimony often decided legal matters.
