Isaiah 29:21

who by a word make a man out to be an offender , and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate , and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right .

those who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.

That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
