“Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.”
Yet their repentance is insincere: "But they flattered him with their mouths and lied to him with their tongues." The word "flattered" suggests deceptive praise, a manipulation of words designed to placate God rather than express genuine devotion. The explicit statement that they lied indicates a fundamental dishonesty in their approach to the divine.
