Exegesis
The prepositional construct bǝ-rêʿehû {בְ־רֵעֵהוּ | bǝ-rêʿehû} ‘against his neighbor’ indicates the target, and the noun phrase ʿēd šāqer {עֵד שָׁקֶר | ʿēd šāqer} ‘false witness’ serves as the object.
In context — Proverbs 25:18
A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a breaker , a sword, and a sharp arrow.
