King James Translators' Notes

dissembleth: or, is known

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

24. dissembleth-though an unusual sense of the word (compare Margin), is allowable, and better suits the context, which sets forth hypocrisy.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

26:24-26. Always distrust when a man speaks fair unless you know him well. Satan, in his temptations, speaks fair, as he did to Eve; but it is madness to give credit to him. 27. What pains men take to do mischief to others! but it is digging a pit, it is rolling a stone, hard work; and they prepare mischief to themselves. 28. There are two sorts of lies equally detestable. A slandering lie, the mischief of this every body sees. A flattering lie, which secretly works ruin. A wise man will be more afraid of a flatterer than of a slanderer.


Psalm 41:6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.
Proverbs 10:18 He who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool.
Proverbs 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy. (NASB ©1995)
