Proverbs 12:15 (15) The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise. One who perceives the truth has a force, a beauty of character, which creates a favorable impression that opens doors and accomplishes things. A wise person is one who recognizes truth, understands that he must be accountable and meet his obligations and submits to it. This process produces a good witness whether the obligation to truth is met verbally or behaviorally. If a person will not do this, he deceives himself that he can somehow "get away with it," and that the false image he projects to others will somehow hide his true poor character. This principle holds true in every area of life upon which a name is built, whether in a relationship, child training, employment, or health. Many run from the truth about themselves. They hide the truth from others. They attempt to project an image of Christianity based on their own self-deceit, but it is their actions and words, even if only seen by a few, which expose the true nature of their character. Therefore, the ninth commandment covers not only making a false witness about another or an event with the tongue, but also not bearing false witness about God by our conduct.
