Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
That speak leasing - Falsity, from the Anglo-Saxon leasunge , a lie, falsity, deceit; from leas , lie, which is from the verb leasian to lie. See on Psalms 4:2 (note).
The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man - ish damim , the man of bloods; for he who has the spirit of a murderer, will rarely end with one bloodshedding. So the Jews, who clamored for the blood of our Lord, added to that, as far and as long as they could, the blood of his disciples.
