A wicked doer gives heed to false (evil) lips.
A bad man delights in and hearkens to evil words; he takes pleasure in
those who counsel wickedness, because they are after his own heart. Like
mates with like. And a liar gives ear to a naughty (mischievous) tongue.
One who is himself mendacious listens with avidity to any tale that may
injure a neighbor. however monstrous and improbable it may be.
Septuagint, "A wicked man listens to the tongue of transgressors; but a
just man heeds not false lips."
Proverbs 17:4
A wicked doer gives heed to false lips; and a liar gives ear to a naughty tongue.
