'Flatters' in the Bible

It will happen that when he (a renegade) hears the words of this oath, and he imagines himself as blessed, saying, ‘I will have peace and safety even though I walk within the stubbornness of my heart [rejecting God and His law], in order that the watered land dwindles away along with the dry [destroying everything],’

For he flatters and deceives himself in his own eyesThinking that his sinfulness will not be discovered and hated [by God].

That they may keep you from the immoral woman,From the foreigner [who does not observe God’s laws and] who flatters with her [smooth] words.

He who [appropriately] reprimands a [wise] man will afterward find more favorThan he who flatters with the tongue.

A man who flatters his neighbor [with smooth words intending to do harm]Is spreading a net for his own feet.
