When people lie or speak falsely in the Bible, it represents the "falsity of faith" and the resulting "evil of faith." This is what happens when people form their ideas based on bad information and incorrect assumptions. This leads to wrong ways of thinking and evil.

8123. The reason why these are acts of charity towards the neighbour is that each individual person is the neighbour. though each in a different way from others, 6818; the community whether small or large is in a greater degree the neighbour, 6819, 6820; one's country is in an even greater degree the neighbour, 6819, 6821; the Church in a still greater degree, 6819, 6822; the Lord's kingdom in a yet greater degree, 6819, 6823; and the Lord above all, 6819, 6824. In an overall sense good emanating from the Lord is the neighbour, 6706, 6711, consequently also what is just and right. Therefore a person who does any kind of good for the sake of good, and what is just for its own sake, loves the neighbour and exercises charity, for he acts from a love of good and from a love of what is just, and so from a love of those things in which goodness and justice reside. But a person who acts unjustly for the sake of any kind of gain hates the neighbour.
