A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbors deceit within.
When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.
A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
Proverbs 26: 24-28
Telling a lie is like throwing matches as you hike through the forest; not every one will start a fire, but the one that does will be one you can't put out, and it will likely burn you!
