May the Lord cut off ¹  all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts! ² 

A lying tongue ¹  hates those crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin. ² 

People lie to one another; ¹  they flatter and deceive. ² 

For there will no longer be any false visions or flattering omens amidst the house of Israel.

She persuaded him ¹  with persuasive words; ²  with her smooth talk ³  she compelled him. ⁴ 

For we never appeared ¹  with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed – God is our witness –

These people are grumblers and ¹  fault-finders who go ²  wherever their desires lead them, ³  and they give bombastic speeches, ⁴  enchanting folks ⁵  for their own gain. ⁶ 

to deliver you ¹  from the adulteress, ²  from the sexually loose woman ³  who speaks flattering ⁴  words; ⁵ 

For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds ¹  of the naive.

I will not show partiality to anyone, ¹  nor will I confer a title ²  on any man.

by keeping ¹  you from the evil woman, ²  from the smooth tongue of ³  the loose woman. ⁴ 

The one ¹  who flatters ²  his neighbor spreads a net ³  for his steps. ⁴ 

for I do not know how to give honorary titles, ¹  if I did, ²  my Creator would quickly do away with me. ³ 

The one who reproves ¹  another ²  will in the end ³  find more favor than the one who flatters ⁴  with the tongue.
