LIE, PRETENCE, DECEPTION

Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.

Acts 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

16:17 Now I beseech you, brothers, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

2 Cor 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Eph 4:25 Why putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

1 Th 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

1 Pe 2:1 Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

2:21 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defiles, neither whatever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie.

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yes, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die:
5 For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

Ps 5:6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

52:1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.
2 The tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

55:20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you? or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?

8 Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Pr 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a fraudulent mouth.

10:18 He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.

12:17 He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

14:13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

14:25 A true witness delivers souls: but a deceitful witness speaks lies.

16:27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A fraudulent man sows strife: and a whisperer separates chief friends.

16:30 He shuts his eyes to devise fraudulent things: moving his lips he brings evil to pass.

17:7 Excellent speech becomes not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet words.

24:8 He that devises to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

24:28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.

26:18 As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceives his neighbor, and said, Am not I in sport?

26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

26:24 He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
25 When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.

26:27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

29:5 A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, said the LORD.
7 Therefore thus said the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he lays his wait.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? said the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
