False Flattery

Romans 16:18

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.

1 Thessalonians 2:5

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

Proverbs 28:23

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

Psalms 12:2

• Heart
• Speak
• Vanity

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

Proverbs 29:5

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

Galatians 4:17

They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

Job 17:5

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

Proverbs 24:24

He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

Proverbs 29:5-15

• Children
• Servant

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. read more If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. show less

Psalms 78:36

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
