Proverbs 26:28

Bible in Basic English 1965

A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.

See the chapter Copy

Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;

To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.

They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.

So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.
