Commentary on Proverbs 26:28

Theological / Devotional

Flattering mouth. Flattery is dangerous, for it increases the pride of its victim and cuts him off from the help that Heaven longs to give. It causes him to trust the flatterer and thus to become an easy prey. Flattery diverts attention from points of character where improvement is needed.
