The words "every" and "liar" are exaggerations here to add emphasis that God alone is always true to his promises. Alternate translation: "even if every man were a liar" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])

These two phrases have very similar meanings. You can translate this in an active form.
