ABOUT TRUTH & LIES (3)

1. What does the Book of Proverbs say about Truth versus Lies?

a) 17 What you get by dishonesty you may enjoy like the finest food, but sooner or later it will be like a mouthful of sand. (Proverbs 20:17)

b) 6 Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap. (Proverbs 21:6)

c) 28 A false witness will perish, but the man who listens to the truth will speak forever. (Proverbs 21:28)

d) 20 Have I not written to you excellent things of counsels and knowledge, 21 To make you know the certainty of the words of truth that you may correctly answer him who sent you? (Proverbs 22:20-21)

e) 23 Buy truth, and do not sell it, get wisdom and instruction and understanding. (Proverbs 23:23)

f) 18 A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow. (Proverbs 25:18)

g) 24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, but he lays up deceit in his heart. 25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. (Proverbs 26:24-26)

h) 28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin. (Proverbs 26:28)

i) 13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion. (Proverbs 28:13)

j) 5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His words or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar. 7 Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep deception and lies far from me. (Proverbs 30:5-8)
