you shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" is one of the Ten Commandments,[2] which

are widely understood as moral imperatives by Jewish scholars, Catholic scholars, and Post-
Reformationscholars.[3][4][5]

Today, most cultures retain a distinction between lying in general (which is discouraged under most, but
not all, circumstances) versus perjury (which is always unlawful under criminal law and liable to
punishment). Similarly, historically in Jewish tradition, a distinction was made between lying in general
and bearing false witness (perjury) specifically. On the one hand, bearing false witness (perjury) was
always prohibited according to the decalogue's commandment against bearing false witness, yet on the
other hand, lying in general was acknowledged to be, in certain circumstances "permissible or even
commendable" when it was a white lie, and it was done while not under oath, and it was not "harmful to
someone else".[6]

The book of Exodus describes the Ten Commandments as being spoken by God, inscribed on two stone
tablets by the finger of God, broken by Moses, and rewritten on replacement stones by the Lord.[7]

There are six things that the LORD strongly dislikes, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes,
a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make
haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

My opinion

the ninth commandment says that you should not wish evil on anyone because god wants that for us
because that way you would be pure and you could help other people to not do it since that is very bad
and you should keep in mind that in most the cases this could be returned to you and if something bad
happens to that person you will be breaking a very important commandment and that could bring many
consequences and could be putting your life at risk, trust God and you would be lying to yourself same
