28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,And a flattering mouth works (A)ruin.
28 A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath [a]wounded;And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
23 (A)He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterwardThan he who flatters with the tongue.
23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favorThan he that flattereth with the tongue.
5 A man who (A)flatters his neighborSpreads a net for his feet.
5 A man that flattereth his neighborSpreadeth a net for his steps.
