'Pretends' in the Bible

When someone comes to visit, he pretends to be friendly; he thinks of ways to defame me, and when he leaves he slanders me.

Better is a person of humble standing who nevertheless has a servant, than one who pretends to be somebody important yet has no food.

There is one who pretends to be rich and yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor and yet possesses great wealth.

"The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada. He has put you in charge in the Lord's temple of controlling any lunatic who pretends to be a prophet. And it is your duty to put any such person in the stocks with an iron collar around his neck.
