Psalms 12:2
They speak lies to one another; They speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
-
Proverbs 26:24-26
One who hates disguises it with his lips, But he harbors deceit in his heart.When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, Because there are seven abominations in his heart.Though his hatred covers itself with deception, His wickedness will be revealed in the assembly.

Luke 20:20-23
And so they watched Him closely, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could hand Him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.And the spies questioned Him, saying,“ Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth.Is it permissible for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”But He saw through their trickery and said to them,

Micah 7:5-7
Do not trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard your lips From her who lies in your arms.For son disavows father, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter in law against her mother in law; A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.But as for me, I will be on the watch for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

Nehemiah 6:1-14
Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach was left in it, although at that time I had not installed the doors in the gates,Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying,“ Come, let’s meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they were plotting to harm me.So I sent messengers to them, saying,“ I am doing a great work and am unable to come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?”Then they sent messages to me four times worded in this way, and I answered them with the same wording.Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same way a fifth time with an open letter in his hand.In it was written:“ It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; for that reason you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these reports.You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you,‘ A king is in Judah!’ And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let’s consult together.”Then I sent a message to him saying,“ Nothing like these things that you are saying has been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind.”For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking,“ They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done.” But now, God, strengthen my hands.When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, he said,“ Let’s meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let’s close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night.”But I said,“ Should a man like me flee? And who is there like me who would go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go in.”Then I realized that God certainly had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.He was hired for this reason, that I would become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could taunt me.Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat in accordance with these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets, who were trying to frighten me.

Jeremiah 20:10
For I have heard the whispering of many,“ Terror on every side! Denounce him; let’s denounce him!” All my trusted friends, Watching for my fall, say:“ Perhaps he will be persuaded, so that we may prevail against him And take our revenge on him.”
