# Suppose that "When" or "If" # an unrighteous witness "a witness who intends to harm someone else" # rises up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing Here "rise up" means to stand up in court and speak against someone to a judge. Alternate translation: "tells the judge that a man sinned in order to get the man in trouble" or "tells the judge that a man sinned, so the judge will punish him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
