Proverbs 10:18 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. He that hideth - This is a common case. How many, when full of resentment, and deadly hatred, meditating revenge and cruelty, and sometimes even murder, have pretended that they thought nothing of the injury they had sustained; had passed by the insult, etc.! Thus lying lips covered the malevolence of a wicked heart.

Proverbs 10:18

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