Afflicted Bruised Cause Clean Crushed Crushes False. Flattering Hate Hates Hateth Hearts Hurts Injured Lying Mouth Ones Overthrow Ruin Smooth Tongue Victims Worketh Works Wounded Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Verse 28 There are two sorts of lies equally detestable:-1. A slandering lie, which avowedly hates those it is spoken of: A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; it afflicts them by calumnies and reproaches because it hates them, and can thus smite them secretly where they are without defence; and it hates them because it has afflicted them and made them its enemies. The mischief of this is open and obvious; it afflicts, it hates, and owns it, and every body sees it. 2. A flattering lie, which secretly works the ruin of those it is spoken to. In the former the mischief is plain, and men guard against it as well as they can, but in this it is little suspected, and men betray themselves by being credulous of their own praises and the compliments that are passed upon them. A wise man therefore will be more afraid of a flatterer that kisses and kills than of a slanderer that proclaims war.
