Proverbs 26:28

Catholic Public Domain Version

A false tongue does not love truth. And a slippery mouth works ruin.

See the chapter Copy

And she said: "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought in to me, approached me to abuse me.

So may you be rescued from the foreign woman, and from the outsider, who softens her speech,

A man who speaks to his friend with flattering and feigned words spreads a net for his own feet.

So may they guard you from an evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the outsider.

So may she guard you from the woman who is an outsider, and from the stranger who sweetens her words.

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
