Gill's Notes on the Bible
An ungodly witness scorneth judgment,.... Or, "a witness of Belial" z. A false witness is not awed by the place of judgment where he is; nor by the judge before whom he is; nor by the law, the rule of judgment, nor by the punishment of perjury; he scorns all these, and scoffs at them, and proceeds in bearing a false testimony: or he covers that which is right and just, and eludes judgment by specious and sophistic arguments and pretences. Or this may be understood of a false teacher, that scorns the rule of judgment, or colours over things, to make them plausible, and seem to be agreeable to it;
and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity; greedily, and with pleasure commits it; as a hungry man takes in his food; or a thirsty man drinks down water: and in like manner are false doctrines imbibed by men of perverse minds.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ungodly witness - literally, “Witness of Belial,” “worthless,” “untruthful.”
Devoureth iniquity - Seizes on it eagerly, as a dainty, lives on it.
