lying.He that injures another hates him in proportion to the injury; {Proprium humani ingenii est, odisse quem læseris,} says Tacitlus:

John 8:40,44‑49• 40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
 46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
 47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Conscious of having wronged another, and being determined not to confess it, the dissembler will store his heart with hatred against the object of his wrongdoing. (“Proverbs Twenty-Six” by H.A. Ironside)
