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

A lying tongue hateth (those that are) afflicted by it.

`Forgiveness to the injured doth belong; He never pardons that hath done the wrong.'

So Amnon's hatred to Tamar after he had ruined her (2 Samuel 13:5).

And a flattering mouth worketh ruin (; Psalms 10:7). Satan's flattering lie, "Ye shall be as god's," worked ruin to mankind at the first. So it has been ever since (; ; ; ; ).
