2. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak. 3. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4. Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

Theological / Devotional

Vanity. Or, “falsehood.”

A double heart. Literally, “heart and a heart.” They think one thing and say another. No confidence can be placed in a person who has one heart to speak his words and another heart to conceal his purposes.
