See the chapter Copy

He that speaks 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 to man.

Why, Job, I pray you, hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.

A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

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