5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
5 Perjury won't go unpunished. Would you let a liar go free?
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, nor will a liar escape.
