PROVERBS 25:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.”
Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is one who gives false testimony against his neighbor—a condemnation of perjury as weaponized violence, establishing that false witness is an attack. The escalating weapons (club, sword, arrow) emphasize the severity. The theological significance involves the principle that false testimony is a form of violence.
