Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - They speak vanity every one with his neighbour; rather, they speak falsehood (Kay, Cheyne). Contrast the injunction of the apostle (Ephesians 4:25). With flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak; literally, with lips of smoothness, and with a heart and a heart do they speak. The Authorized Version gives the true meaning (comp. 1 Chronicles 12:33).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Vanity.--So in Psalm 41:6 and Job 35:13. Literally, evil. "Falsehood" would be better. This verse may have been in St Paul's mind (Ephesians 4:25).Flattering lips.--Literally, lips of smoothness, (Comp. Note, Psalm 5:9.)With a double heart.--Literally, with a heart and a heart. (Comp. 1Chronicles 12:33.) "One for the Church, another for the Change; one for Sundays, another for working-days; one for the king, another for the Pope. A man without a heart is a wonder, but a man with two hearts is a monster."--Thos. Adams, A.D. 1614. . . .
