Job 20:5
5 athat the exulting of the wicked is short,and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Psalms 52:5
5 But God will break you down forever;he will snatch and btear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from cthe land of the living. Selah
Proverbs 19:9
9 dA false witness will not go unpunished,and he who ebreathes out lies will perish.
Acts 5:3-10
3But Peter said, “Ananias, why has fSatan filled your heart to lie gto the Holy Spirit and hto 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 ito God.” 5When Ananias heard these words, he jfell down and breathed his last. And kgreat fear came upon all who heard of it. 6The young men rose and lwrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.7After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you ▼

sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” 9But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together nto test othe Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
