Proverbs 29:5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
This is a short verse but it says a lot. We have heard the saying, “flattery will get you nowhere”, and most of the time it will not. But if someone is constantly flattering you it is because they want you to something you probably should not do. The flattery is a cover up for for their real intentions. In the end this person is only out to deceive someone and profit for himself. We need to pray God gives us the wisdom and discernment to know when someone is just trying to take advantage of us.
