If you do a Google Search on Bearing False Witness, this is what you will find.

Bearing false witness means knowingly speaking or spreading untruths about another person, which is a violation of the Ninth Commandment in the Ten Commandments. This can include formal situations like lying under oath in court (perjury) or informal actions like perpetuating rumors and gossip that damage someone's reputation. It involves intentionally misrepresenting reality to harm another person, leading to severe consequences such as ruined careers, lost freedom, and broken relationships.

When someone bears false witness, they are not speaking the truth. In John 8:44 (ESV), Jesus had this to say about those who lie and distort the truth:

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The truth is, the Lord God Almighty expects us to obey this very important commandment - Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness, or provide false testimony designed to harm another person.
