In The Bible "your neighbor" is not just the person who lives next door or across the street, but any person whom you come in contact with. The ninth commandment says, ""You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor". Justice is not served by any untruthful testimony. I know that in the United States of America we have recognized this principal and adjure all witnesses to tell the truth and nothing but the truth in a court of law. At one time a witness would lay their hand on the Bible and swear this, but I think mostly this has been stopped. Lying is a sin against God and should never be done.
