Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do not bear false witness is one of the Ten Commandments. I think this passage is especially significant for us because it reminds us to not be too angry with another person who may have wronged us. According to Biblical tradition that person should be punished, but not unjustly. So God had the people set up a check-and-balance system in which someone's anger is not a major factor in what happens. The justice that we hand out should be handed out lovingly, not with malice or anger. God bless you.
