"He that hidethª° hatredª [with] lyingª lips,ª and he that utterethª° a slander,ª [is] a fool.ª" {Prv 10:18} + "And Joabª saidª° to Amasa,ª [Art] thou¹ in health,ª my brother?ª And Joabª tookª° Amasaª by the beardª with the rightª handª to kissª° him. ... But Amasaª took no¹ heedª° to the swordª that¹ [was] in Joab'sª hand:ª so he smoteª° him therewith in¹ the fifthª [rib], and shed outª° his bowelsª to the ground,ª and struck¹ him not¹ again;²° and he died.ª° So Joabª and Abishaiª his brotherª pursuedª° afterª Shebaª the sonª of Bichri.ª" {2Sm 20:9-10} + "And they comeª° unto¹ thee as the peopleª cometh,ª and they sitª° beforeª thee [as] my people,ª and they hearª°¹ thy words,ª but they will not¹ doª° them: for¹ with their mouthª they¹ shewª° much love,ª [but] their heartª goethª° afterª their covetousness.ª" {Ezk 33:31} + "Andª while heª yetª spake,ª° beholdª° a multitude,ª andª he that was calledª° Judas,ª oneª of the¹ twelve,ª went beforeª° them,ª andª drew nearª° unto Jesusª to kissª° him.ª ... Butª Jesusª saidª° unto him,ª Judas,ª betrayest¹ thou²° the¹ Sonª of manª with a kiss?ª" {Lke 22:47-48}
