Flattering

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

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.

• Heart
• Speak
• Vanity

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

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

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

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

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

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

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

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

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

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

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

• Furnace
• Seven

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. read more Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. show less
