Deceit
6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
6:13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
6:14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
10:10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
12:20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
13:5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
13:17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

16:30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
17:20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
19:22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
20:14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
20:17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
21:28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
22:5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
25:18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
25:19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
26:18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
26:19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
26:25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26:26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
26:28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
