False Accusations and Flattery are Equally Manipulative

If someone falsely accuses you of something you can be sure that person who is accusing is struggling in their own heart with the very thing they accuse others of doing.
Those who wish to hide what is in their heart they believe others are hiding things in their hearts too.
Be careful what you accuse others of doing without evidence, you may be revealing your own heart to someone.
Also, remember even flattery is a form of lying, it reveals that the one who flatters wishes to be flattered themselves.
Flattery is a way of disarming people to have power over them.
Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."
Proverbs 26:24-28
"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin."
