Let US cleave, therefore, to those who culti- vate peace with godliness, and not to those who hypocritically profess to desire it. For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This peo- ple honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." ' And again : " They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." ^ And again it saith, " They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue ; but their heart was not right with Him, neither were they faitliful in His covenant." 3 "Let the de- ceitful lips become silent," •* [and " let the Lord destroy all the lying lips,5] and the boastful tongue of those who have said, Let us magnify our tongue ; our lips are our own ; who is lord over us ? For the oppression of the poor, and for the sighing of the needy, will I now arise, saith the Lord : I will place him in safety ; I will deal confidently with him." ^
