inquire diligently, and
if the
witness is a
false witness and has
accused his brother falsely,
(NIV)

and reduce my words to nothing?’

not so,
who will
prove me a
liarand show that there is
nothing in what I
say?”

I am considered a liar;

his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.”

right I am counted a
liar;
my
wound is
incurable, though I am without
transgression.’
(NIV)
in my alarm I said,
‘Everyone is a liar.’

liars.”

evildoer listens to
wicked lips,

liar gives
ear to a
mischievous tongue.
(NIV)
What a person desires is unfailing love;
better to be poor than a liar.

better than a
liar.

or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

liar.

If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
“I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,”
that would be just the prophet for this people!
If a
man should
go about and utter
wind and
lies,
saying, “I will
preach to you
of wine and
strong drink,”
he would
be the preacher for
this people!
(NIV)
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
(ESV)
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
(NIV)

‘So that you may be proved right when you speak
and prevail when you judge.’

no means!

God be true though every one were a
liar,
as it is
written,
“
That you may be
justified in your
words,
and prevail when you are
judged.”

say we have
not sinned,

liar,

says “I
know him”

liar;
for he who does
not love his brother whom he has
seen cannot love God whom he has
not seen.
(NIV)

believes in the
Son of
God has the
testimony in himself. Whoever does
not believe God has
made him a
liar,
because he has
not believed in the
testimony that God has
borne concerning his Son.
