New American Standard Bible

²⁸A lying tongue hates ^[a]those it crushes,
And a ^(A)flattering mouth works ruin.

Proverbs 26:28

Common English Bible

²⁸A lying tongue hates those it crushes;
a flattering mouth causes destruction.

²³One who ^(A)rebukes a person will afterward find more favor
Than one who ^(B)flatters with the tongue.

²³Those who correct someone will, in the end, find more favor
than those with flattering tongues.

⁵A man who ^(A)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.

⁵People who flatter their friends
spread out a net for their feet.
