Proverbs 19:9

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

Here is, 1. A repetition of what was said before (v. 5), for we have

need to be again and again warned of the danger of the sin of lying and

false-witness-bearing, since nothing is of more fatal consequence. 2.

An addition to it in one word; there it was said, He that speaks lies

shall not escape, and intimated that he shall be punished. Here it is

said, His punishment shall be such as will be his destruction: he shall

perish; the lies he forged against others will be his own ruin. It is a

damning destroying sin.
