Proverbs 10:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

With lying lips; with flattering words and false pretences of friendship. And he, Heb. he, i. e both of them, one no less than the other. So he condemneth two opposite vices, secret hatred and manifest slander. Is a fool, because a sinner, and because the mischief of these things will fall upon himself.

Proverbs 10:18

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
