“A false witness will not go unpunished,
Proverbs 19:5 NIV
and whoever pours out lies will not go free.”
Boy do we wish this was a passage that clearly describes all legal systems in the world. More often than not, we see false witnesses (and false accusers) walk away with little to no prosecution. However the Bible isn’t a book that’s interested in our concepts of justice. God is the ultimate judge and that judgement is final.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
It may be no comfort to us now, we who want the liars to pay now for the lies they’ve spread. But we’ve got to remember that God is not only the ultimate judge, He is patient. He is patient with them and with you and I. He is waiting, patiently for us to come back to him and stop pouring out lies.
