Proverbs 19:5
World English Bible (WEB)
A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
In context
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
4 Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
