, “The best people are those of my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then, there will come people after them whose testimony precedes their oaths and their oaths precede their testimony.”

What does “Then, there will come people after them whose testimony precedes their oaths and their oaths precede their testimony” mean?
Does it mean that there will be truthful people and untruthful? I’d appreciate if someone expanded on this.
