speaketh...: Heb. maketh his voice gracious

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

25. Sentiment of Pr 26:24 carried out.

seven abominations in his heart-that is, very many (compare Pr 24:16).

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 28:3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
Proverbs 26:23 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
Jeremiah 9:8 "Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him. (NASB ©1995)
