A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.

He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.

Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
