Thus the oracle warned deceivers and liars when they were going on a journey. They were warned not to deceive or betray others in the foreign land. Rectitude warned them, but they never heeded the warning. The warning was given because of the future. Vengeance belongs to the Almighty, the King who recompenses everybody according to his deeds.
Liars know the truth but tell untruth.
They call red what is white and white what is red for their own purpose, and by lying they injure other people. Those who call efuru efuru, all right, our Father will be looking at them from heaven. All right, those who call an iroko leaf an oro leaf all right, our Father will be looking at them from heaven. All right, those who call a turtle dove a wood dove, all right, our Father will be looking at them from heaven. All right, those who call sour what is sweet, all right, our Father will be looking at them from heaven.
