Commandment 9

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
  The Ten Commandments (1933) by Alexander Katz (1895-1974)

Commentary by Rabbi Alexander S. Kline
Two happy houses symbolize neighborliness with smoke emanating from them spelling emet the Hebrew word for truth. Beauty, serenity and harmonious human relations are safeguarded when we speak the truth.
