The Whole Truth

• He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he
  lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks
  graciously, do not believe him, For there are
  seven abominations in his heart. Though his
  hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness
  will be revealed before the assembly. He who digs
  a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a
  stone, it will come back on him. A lying tongue
  hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth
  works ruin.
• Proverbs 2624-28

  witness who utters lies, And one who spreads
  strife among brothers.

The Whole Truth

• O naive ones, understand prudence And, O
  fools, understand wisdom. Listen, for I will
  speak noble things And the opening of my lips
  will reveal right things. For my mouth will utter
  truth And wickedness is an abomination to my
  lips. All the utterances of my mouth are in
  righteousness There is nothing crooked or
  perverted in them. They are all straightforward
  to him who understands, And right to those who
  find knowledge.
