Bible Quotes

I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person. For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away. (Job 32:21,22) ESV Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin. (Proverbs 26:24-28) ESV Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue. (Proverbs 28:23) ESV A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. (Proverbs 29:5) ESV These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. (Jude 1:16) ESV
