Proverbs 26:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Hateth those that are afflicted by it, because by his calumnies he hath made them his enemies. A flattering mouth; which, though it be more smooth and plausible than a slandering mouth, yet is in truth no less pernicious, betraying others either to sin, or to danger and mischief.

Proverbs 26:28

28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
