- speaketh fair:
- Heb. maketh his voice gracious, "They speakª° vanityª every oneª with¹ his neighbour:ª [with] flatteringª lipsª [and] with a double² heartª do they speak.ª°" {Psa 12:2} + "Draw¹ me not¹ away²° with¹ the wicked,ª and with¹ the workersª° of iniquity,ª which speakª° peaceª to¹ their neighbours,ª but mischiefª [is] in their hearts.ª" {Psa 28:3} + "Oh that²° I had¹¹ in the wildernessª a lodging placeª of wayfaring men;ª° that I might leaveª°¹ my people,ª and go²°¹ from¹¹ them! for¹ they [be] all¹ adulterers,ª° an assemblyª of treacherous men.ª° ... Their tongueª [is as] an arrowª shot out;ª° it speakethª° deceit:ª [one] speakethª° peaceablyª to¹ his neighbourª with his mouth,ª but in heartª he layethª° his wait.ª" {Jer 9:2-8} + "Trustª° ye not¹ in a friend,ª put ye not confidenceª°¹ in a guide:ª keepª° the doorsª of thy mouthª from her that liethª°¹ in thy bosom.ª" {Mic 7:5}
