Flattering Words

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

• Heart
• Speak
• Vanity

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
