On Lying, Deceit, Dishonesty

    
    
         

   He that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his 
   tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile. 

                                                  1 Peter 3:10        



   A false balance is abomination to the LORD: 
    But a just weight is his delight. 

                               Prov 11:1



   Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: 
    But they that deal truly are his delight.     

                                    Prov 12:22



   A false witness shall not be unpunished, 
    And he that speaketh lies shall not escape.     

                                     Prov 19:5




   The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed 
   to and fro of them that seek death.      
                                                 Prov 21:6
                                                 




   Keep thy tongue from evil, 
    And thy lips from speaking guile.
   
                                          Psa 34:13      





   He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: 
    He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.     

                                               Psa 101:7



   A whispered lie is just as wrong 
   As one that thunders loud and long. 

   
   
   
   
   A lie is a foul blot in a man. 
   
   
   
   
   Oh, what a tangled web we weave, 
     When first we practice to deceive! 
   
   
   
   
   A lie begets a lie till they come to generations. 
   
   
   
   
   A false witness shall not go unpunished. 
   
   
   
   
   Liars begin by imposing upon others, but end by deceiving 
   themselves. 
   
   
   
   
   Credit won by lying is quick in dying. 
   
   
   
   
   Falseness often lurks beneath fair hair. 
   
   
   
   
   Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
                    
                                                  Exodus 20:16       

   
   

   A poor man is better than a liar. 
   
   
   
   
   
   A flattering mouth worketh ruin. 
   
                                  Prov. 26:28       

   

   
   Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit. 
   
   
   
   
   Flattery fouls the flatterer and the flattered. 
   
   
   
   
   A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his 
   feet. 
                                      
   
   
   
   
   A wilful falsehood told is a cripple, not able to stand by 
   itself without someone to support it. 
               
   
   
   
   
   A liar is more easily caught than a thief. 
                                    
   
   
   
   
   Simple truth was ever wisdom, even among liars. 
   
   
   
   
   
   Truth is the best buckler. 
   
   
   
   
   
   A truth-teller finds the doors closed against him. 
                                    
   
   
   
   
   Craft must have clothes, but truth loves to go naked.
