Proverbs 14:25

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

Cross-reference

Proverbs 14:5 makes the same point: a faithful witness does not lie, while a false witness breathes lies — nearly identical teaching.

In Proverbs 12:17, the same contrast between truthful and false witness appears, reinforcing the value of honest testimony.
