Wicked doer versus liar
Wicked doer versus liar
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue (Proverbs 17:4).
A person who does wicked things gives heed to lies because he acts on false reports. A liar heeds to a person with a naughty tongue. Lie and naughtiness (mischief) go hand in hand. A wicked person believes in lying and mischievous tongues. Human tongues are not straightforward and truthful but emit lies and mischiefs.
Even saints become wicked doers when they listen to lying or mischievous statements and act on such reports.
