They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
Read Chapter 12
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
3. "He hath talked vanity each man to his neighbour" (ver. 2). By neighbour we must understand every man: for that there is no one with whom we should work evil; "and the love of our neighbour worketh no evil." "Deceitful lips, with a heart and a heart they have spoken evil things." The repetition, "with a heart and a heart," signifies a double heart.
Deceitful. Hebrew, "flattering "and of course not fee from deceit. (Berthier)
"That man I hate, e'en as the gates of hell, Who thinks one thing, and will another tell. "(Homer, Iliad I.)
None can have (Haydock) confidence in a liar, St. James i. 8. (Calmet)
