“Qui quod novit loquitur, index justitiæ est ; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus.”
“He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”
“He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.”
“He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.”
“He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.”
That. Hebrew, “the truth announceth justice.” We easily give credit to an honest man. (Calmet)
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
