Not a word from their mouths can be trusted. Their hearts are filled with a desire to hurt others. Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.

“ Listen to me, you priests! Pay attention, people of Israel! Listen, you members of the royal family! Here is my decision against you. You have been like a trap at Mizpah. You have been like a net spread out on Mount Tabor.

Suppose someone tells lies about their friends to get a reward. Then their own children will suffer for it.

Everyone tells lies to their neighbors. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.

“ So now I’m saying,‘ May what you have told me prevent that man from doing what he wants. You are like an angel of God. You know what is good and what is evil. May the Lord your God be with you.’ ”Then the king said to the woman,“ I’m going to ask you a question. I want you to tell me the truth.”“ Please ask me anything you want to,” the woman said.The king asked,“ Joab told you to say all of this, didn’t he?” The woman answered,“ What you have told me is exactly right. And that’s just as sure as you are alive. It’s true that Joab directed me to do this. He told me everything he wanted me to say.He did it to change the way things now are. You are as wise as an angel of God. You know everything that happens in the land.”Later the king said to Joab,“ All right. I’ll do what you want. Go. Bring back the young man Absalom.”Joab bowed down with his face toward the ground. He did it to honor the king. And he asked God to bless the king. He said,“ You are my king and master. Today I know that you are pleased with me. You have given me what I asked for.”Then Joab went to Geshur. He brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.But the king said,“ He must go to his own house. I don’t want him to come and see me.” So Absalom went to his own house. He didn’t go to see the king.

People like that are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving only themselves. With smooth talk and with words they don’t mean they fool people who don’t know any better.

As you know, we never praised you if we didn’t mean it. We didn’t put on a mask to cover up any sinful desire. God is our witness that this is true.

They will keep you from a woman who commits adultery. They will keep you from the smooth talk of a sinful wife.

She led him astray with her clever words. She charmed him with her smooth talk.

A person who talks about others tells secrets. So avoid anyone who talks too much.

“ He sent down fire from heaven. It went deep down into my bones. He spread a net to catch me by the feet. He stopped me right where I was. He made me empty. I am sick all the time.

A tongue that tells lies hates the people it hurts. And words that seem to praise you destroy you.

Enemies use their words as a mask. They hide their evil plans in their hearts.Even though what they say can be charming, don’t believe them. That’s because seven things God hates fill that person’s heart.

The religious leaders sent spies to keep a close watch on Jesus. The spies pretended to be sincere. They hoped they could trap Jesus with something he would say. Then they could hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.So the spies questioned Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ we know that you speak and teach what is right. We know you don’t favor one person over another. You teach the way of God truthfully.

How useless it is to spread a net where every bird can see it!
