Pro 19:28 | MHM | STEP | The Wickedness of False Witnesses This section describes people who are deeply set on doing evil. It shows how some people ignore warnings and even enjoy doing wrong. These are the worst kinds of sinners because they not only harm others but also reject what is right and good. v. 28 : An ungodly witness is someone who lies in court or speaks against others to cause harm. This is not just unfair, but also very disrespectful to God. Some people even speak against religion and try to lead others away from the truth— they scorn judgment and laugh at warnings about God’s justice (Job 15:26 ). If you tell them about God’s law or that there will be a day of judgment, they just make fun of it. These people are eager to do wrong— the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity , drinking it in like water (Job 15:16 ). They look for chances to sin and are happy when they find them. This shows how far they have turned away from what is right.

The Wickedness of False Witnesses

This section describes people who are deeply set on doing evil. It shows how some people ignore warnings and even enjoy doing wrong. These are the worst kinds of sinners because they not only harm others but also reject what is right and good.

v. 28: An ungodly witness is someone who lies in court or speaks against others to cause harm. This is not just unfair, but also very disrespectful to God. Some people even speak against religion and try to lead others away from the truth—they scorn judgment and laugh at warnings about God’s justice (Job 15:26 ^a). If you tell them about God’s law or that there will be a day of judgment, they just make fun of it. These people are eager to do wrong—the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity, drinking it in like water (Job 15:16 ^b). They look for chances to sin and are happy when they find them. This shows how far they have turned away from what is right.
