Exodus 23:1, 7: Thou shalt not raise a false report:
put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.... Keep
thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou
not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Leviticus 19:11-12: Ye shall not steal, neither deal
falsely, neither lie one to another. And ye shall not swear by my name
falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Deuteronomy 19:15-21: One witness shall not rise up
against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he
sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three
witnesses, shall the matter be established. If a false witness rise up
against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; Then both
the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD,
before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; And the
judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a
false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; Then
shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother:
so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. And those which remain
shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil
among you. And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye
for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
