What does the Bible say about God not being able to lie?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God cannot lie because He is inherently truthful and faithful to His nature.

The nature of God is such that He cannot lie or break a promise. This is foundational to understanding His character as immutable and steadfast. As stated in Numbers 23:19, 'God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent.' God’s truthfulness is essential; what He says is always in accordance with reality and His will. Therefore, when we understand God's nature, we can fully trust in His promises and His word, knowing that He will never deceive us.
