Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
