Proverbs 26:28

New International Version

²⁸A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth^(A) works ruin.

Proverbs 26:28

King James Version

²⁸A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

²⁸A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works ^(A)ruin.

²³Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.^(A)

²³He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

²³^(A)He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue.
