178 - TESTIFYING IN COURT
Leviticus 5:1 -- “If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter--if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.”
One who causes loss to a litigant by the suppression of testimony is not called to account by an earthly court of law, but is strictly accountable to the higher “law of Heaven”.*
