Isaiah 9:15
15 athe elder and honored man is the head,and bthe prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
Isaiah 59:3-4
3 cFor your hands are defiled with bloodand your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 dNo one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
ethey conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
Isaiah 63:8
8For he said, “Surely they are my people,children who will not deal falsely.”
And he became their Savior.
Jeremiah 9:3-5
3 fThey bend their tongue like a bow;falsehood and not truth has grown strong ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong
in the land;for they proceed from evil to evil,
hand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 iLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every jbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor kgoes about as a slanderer.
5Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
Hosea 4:2
2 lthere is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;they break all bounds, and mbloodshed follows bloodshed.
John 8:44
44 nYou are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. oHe was a murderer from the beginning, and pdoes not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. qWhen he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.Acts 5:3-4
3But Peter said, “Ananias, why has rSatan filled your heart to lie sto the Holy Spirit and tto keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but uto God.”
