Here's a list of 5 terrible things, in no particular order, which can happen when you lie.

Your voice changes. People tend to raise or lower the pitch of their voice when they lie.
If you lie while under oath in court, depending on whether it is a state or federal court, the penalty can include a fine and jail time, up to five years on the federal level.
If you get caught lying on your taxes, you can get up to 3 years in prison.

"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.
