He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

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:

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

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

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
