The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

And again it says they loved him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongue, and their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.

Therefore let the deceitful lips be dumb which speak iniquity against the righteous. And again, May the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, a tongue that speaketh great things, those who say. Let us magnify our tongue, our lips are our own, who is lord over us?

For the misery of the poor and groaning of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord, I will place him in safety,

I will deal boldly with him.
