A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever speaks lies will not escape judgment. Gehazi's deception in his dealings with Elisha and Naaman gives a concrete illustration of this certainty. Though his wrongdoing was hidden from human eyes, it was fully known to God. God revealed to Elisha both what Gehazi had said and what had actually happened, exposing the lie.
