Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They were notorious liars; and lying comprehends two of the seven things which the Lord hates. "They are deceitful in their protestations and professions of kindness, while at the same time they speak against me behind my back, with a lying tongue. " They were equally false in their flatteries and in their calumnies.
