“A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.”
Proverbs 26:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 26:28
A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin. The Hebrew 'lashon sheqer' (lying tongue) and 'peh chalaq' (smooth/flattering mouth) describes comprehensive speech corruption. Lies crush victims and reveal hater's heart. Flattery ruins by deceiving and manipulating. Both lying and flattering destroy - one through obvious attack, other through subtle manipulation. This warns: destructive speech takes multiple forms. Guard against both obvious lies and subtle flattery.
