We are Representatives (Proverbs 19:9)

Repetition is the key to memorization, and when the Lord repeat Himself, He wants us to remember.

"A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes forth lies will perish." Proverbs 19:9, Amplified

Verse nine reads almost identical to verse five. So there is something about being a false witness that the Lord wants us to remember. Sandwiched between verses five and nine we find verses six and seven which speak about riches and the lack thereof. There we find verse eight as well which speaks of wisdom and understanding.

The fact that the Lord chooses to repeat Himself concerning being a false witness is interesting. Though certain truths are repeated throughout the book of Proverbs, the Lord chooses to repeat Himself about our witness in only five verses. We have to remember that we are His representatives. We are His reflection.
