Lying Lips

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

• Deceit

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

• Heart

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

• Heart
• Slander

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

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

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

• Abominable
• Character
• Fearful

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

• Lion
• War

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

• Bowels
• Holy
• Character

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

• Truth

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

• Lamb

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. read more And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. show less
