job 20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; - Free Bible Online

job 20:12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth, [And] he hides it under his tongue,


      12. be--"taste sweet." Sin's fascination is like poison sweet to the taste, but at last deadly to the vital organs (Pr 20:17; Job 9:17, 18).
      hide . . . tongue--seek to prolong the enjoyment by keeping the sweet morsel long in the mouth (so Job 20:13).
