Exodus 23:1
New Living Translation (NLT)
23 “You must not pass along false rumors. You must not cooperate with evil people by lying on the witness stand.
Making up or spreading false reports was strictly forbidden by God. Gossip, slander, and false witnessing undermined families, strained neighborhood cooperation, and made chaos of the justice system. Destructive gossip still cause problems. Even if you do not initiate a lie, you become responsible if you pass it along. Don't circulate rumors, squelch them.
