What the bible says about lying

 Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Proverbs 12:17-19 He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health. The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment

Proverbs 6:16-19, These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight.

Proverbs 26:18-19, Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death, is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says, 'I was only joking!'

Proverbs 10:18
Whoever hides hatred has lying lips, And whoever spreads slander is a fool.

John 8:44, [The devil] was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."

Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds

Ephesians 4:25, Therefore, putting away lying, 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,' for we are members of one another.
