A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
A lying tongue hateth (those that are) afflicted by it.
`Forgiveness to the injured doth belong; He never pardons that hath done the wrong.'
So Amnon's hatred to Tamar after he had ruined her (2 Samuel 13:5-15).
And a flattering mouth worketh ruin (Psalms 5:9; Psalms 10:7-10). Satan's flattering lie, "Ye shall be as god's," worked ruin to mankind at the first. So it has been ever since (Genesis 3:5; Proverbs 2:16; Proverbs 5:3; Proverbs 7:5; Proverbs 7:21).
