Proverbs 26:28
English Standard Version
28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
John 8:44-49
English Standard Version
44 (A)You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. (B)He was a murderer from the beginning, and (C)does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. (D)When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 (E)Whoever is of God hears the words of God. (F)The reason why you do not hear them is that (G)you are not of God.”

English Standard Version
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with (A)her smooth talk she compels him.
