• The hypocrite has but one thought before his mind—to cover his own baseness, whatever the consequences to others: hence a readiness to falsely accuse and destroy the peace of the innocent in order to maintain the mask of righteousness for one’s self. But the upright can afford to leave all in the hands of God, who in His own way and time will vindicate His servant. The case of Potiphar’s wife and Joseph might have been in Solomon’s mind as he penned the words (Gen. 39 et al.). (“Proverbs Eleven” by H.A. Ironside)

Hypocrite here and elsewhere seems defined unduly. The cognate verb is rendered to “profane,” “defile,” “pollute.” Why should another force be given to the appellative.
