A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but perversion in it crushes the spirit (Proverbs 15:4).

Anyone who thinks and speaks evil can expect to find nothing good - only disaster (Proverbs 17:20).

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:19).

A false witness will not go unpunished, and a liar will be destroyed (Proverbs 19:9).

Look at all these verses of wisdom from Proverbs in the Bible, wow! We need to be truthful and upright always! God loves us when we do not lie and deceive. We see today so much deceit, so many lies by our so called leaders, elected, government, state media, powers that be, it is sad that you hear so many lies, so much deceit, so much dishonesty, so much coverup and disinformation, so much misleading. Why? God is clear in how we should behave and live! He wants us to follow His 10 Commandments, the teachings of Jesus, and to be people of goodwill. Why is it so hard for so many to fall? To become slaves to Lucifer? To sell their souls to the devil? To even sell out their country and themselves for a little money, gold, or power, why are there so many Judas's today? So sad to see! They need our prayers. May God give them mercy and may they repent before they die. We need to be good people. It is hard to find good role models today, even in elected, priests, deacons, government, etc., so many bad role models, we do have one great one in Jesus, to be more like Jesus! Not indifferent or judging like so many today. We all have a legacy to leave when we leave this Earth School. What is yours going to be? One of truth or one of lies? Stand for the truth! No matter what the world may be doing, you and I must keep doing what is right!
