Wrong Testimony Against Neighbours
Homilist
Proverbs 24:28-29
Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.…


The verses suggest three kinds of wrong testimony.

I. A CAUSELESS ONE. "Be not s witness against thy neighbour without cause." There are those who are, for no service, either to themselves or to society, testifying of the defects and infirmities of their neighbours.

II. A FALSE ONE. "And deceive not with thy lips."

III. A REVENGEFUL ONE. "Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work."

(Homilist.)
