A false witness [that] speaketh lies,.... Or, "that speaketh lies, [even] a false witness" ; and so this is distinguished from a lying tongue, the second of these evils: this is the sin of bearing false witness against one's neighbour, a breach of the eighth command.
It may be rendered, "he that bloweth lies" ; that raises lies, and spreads them abroad, and swears to them, to the damage of others. This makes the sixth; and the seventh follows,and him that soweth discord among brethren; whether in a natural relation, or in a civil society, or in a religious community.
So Vatablus, Mercerus, &c.
