12:2 People lie to one another;
they flatter and deceive.
6:26 for on account
but the wife of another man
7:21 She persuaded him
with her smooth talk
22:14 The mouth
the one against whom the Lord is angry
26:28 A lying tongue
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
9:2 (9:1) I wish I had a lodging place in the desert
where I could spend some time like a weary traveler.
Then I would desert my people
and walk away from them
because they are all unfaithful to God,
a congregation
9:3 The Lord says,
“These people are like soldiers who have readied their bows.
Their tongues are always ready to shoot out lies.
They have become powerful in the land,
but they have not done so by honest means.
Indeed, they do one evil thing after another
and do not pay attention to me.
9:4 Everyone must be on his guard around his friends.
He must not even trust any of his relatives.
For every one of them will find some way to cheat him.
And all of his friends will tell lies about him.
9:5 One friend deceives another
and no one tells the truth.
These people have trained themselves
They do wrong and are unable to repent.
7:2 Faithful men have disappeared
there are no godly men left.
They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood;
they hunt their own brother with a net.
7:5 Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust a companion!
Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!
