There are many accounts in the Bible of men and women who told what was not true, either by saying or acting lies. The story of Jacob shows a young man who both told lies with his lips and acted a lie with his hands. And his mother was even more wrong to plan for him to do so. But God shows the evil of all these, for He says,
“He that speaketh lies shall not escape.” Proverbs 19:5.
“They that deal truly are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22.
