Proverbs 26:28
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it;
and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
When we lie to someone we are hating them. We are not giving them what they think they are getting. We are like a corrupt businessman giving someone goods they didn’t even want to buy. When we are tempted to lie to someone thinking we are doing them good, we must know this truth. You are hating the one you are lying to. Lying tongues afflict people. They feel hurt, wounded and deceived. Sure, truth can hurt but it doesn’t afflict. Affliction goes on and on, a wounding truth can be dealt with. If you love someone, be sure you don’t lie to them.
