What does the Bible say about
Lying?

Here are a few Bible verses about lying:

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 12:22 ESV
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.

Proverbs 19:9 ESV
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.

Psalm 101:7 ESV
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.

Colossians 3:9-10 ESV
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Proverbs 12:19 ESV
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Luke 8:17 ESV
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

Here are the lyrics to:

"If No One Could Tell A Lie"
..
Chorus:
What would the world be like if no one could tell a lie?
What would the answers be to questions starting why?
What would the problems be if no one had to cry.
What would the world be like if no one could tell a lie?

I grew up thinking truth was something good people did,
But as I grew to man hood the changes came.
Everybody's telling lies to get ahead,
And no stops to think what lies beyond.
Chorus:

What if all the lovers in the world were suddenly gone?
And the book of life was rolled before their eyes?
Would the story be the kind that leaves live faces red?
Or would the story line be better left unsaid?
Chorus:
What if all the candidates were gathered in one place?
And forced to tell the truth or lose the race?
Would anyone be standing tall as living proof?
Or just make up another alternate truth?
Chorus:
