PROVERBS 24:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.”
Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, or use your lips to deceive—an exhortation to refrain from bearing false witness, establishing that unnecessary accusation is a serious sin. The phrase 'without cause' (chinnam) emphasizes that the witness has no legitimate basis. The theological significance involves the principle that speech in courts requires truthfulness.
