Prohibition against: Exodus 20:16 " You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
Exodus 23:1 "You shall not utter a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man, to be a malicious witness."
See also Leviticus 19 for verses directly addressing slander.
The punishment for telling lies, especially in court, was severe. A person bringing false evidence against somebody in court, when discovered, recieved the punishment he intended for his victim! If Bob told lies against Larry in court, so that Larry would get a public beating (and was discovered to be lying), then Bob would get the public beating!

God is a loving Father. in case you requested your dad for a sub gadget gum, could he supply you one? of direction not. God won't supply us something that would desire to injury us or human beings. If we pray for a unfavorable reason, including selfishness, hate, etc, those prayers merely isn't replied. If it weren't so, prayer could be like a non secular H bomb. 'costly God, wipe out the Smith relatives, amen.' Do you fairly think of God would desire to respond to that one? God isn't a non secular merchandising gadget. he's all loving, all smart, all merciful and all merely. He can purely answer prayers in accordance to His nature. As to your try, i can't pray which you'd be converted, considering the indisputable fact that takes away your unfastened will. The prayer would not be replied. What i will do, and could do, is pray that God supplies grace and mercy to work out His reality and the actuality of the Gospel. What takes place then is your selection.
