He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
(He that) speaketh (literally, breatheth; Hebrew, yaphiach) truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. He who, with full breath, speaketh out the whole truth without reserve, and without injustice, and this habitually-whose very breath is truth-showeth forth what is righteous, doing injustice to none; like Messiah, "the Faithful and True Witness" (Isaiah 55:4; Revelation 3:14). But a false witness sets forth what does injustice to others by "deceit."
