Proverbs 26:28
_ _ Men hate those they injure.
_ _ A lying tongue — “lips” for the persons (compare Proverbs 4:24; Psalms 12:3). |
Proverbs 26:28
_ _ There are two sorts of lies equally detestable: — 1. A slandering lie, which avowedly hates those it is spoken of: A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; it afflicts them by calumnies and reproaches because it hates them, and can thus smite them secretly where they are without defence; and it hates them because it has afflicted them and made them its enemies. The mischief of this is open and obvious; it afflicts, it hates, and owns it, and every body sees it. 2. A flattering lie, which secretly works the ruin of those it is spoken to. In the former the mischief is plain, and men guard against it as well as they can, but in this it is little suspected, and men betray themselves by being credulous of their own praises and the compliments that are passed upon them. A wise man therefore will be more afraid of a flatterer that kisses and kills than of a slanderer that proclaims war. |
- lying:
- He that injures another hates him in proportion to the injury; Proprium humani ingenii est, odisse quem leseris, says Tacitlus, and strange to say, in proportion to the innocence of the injured.
John 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John 8:44-49 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ... Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
John 10:32-33 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? ... The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John 15:22-24 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. ... If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
