Proverbs 11:8-9
Excerpted from: When Actions Contradict Stated BeliefsOne method of detecting a hypocrite is by his unmerciful judgment of others.
He seeks to confirm his standing by destructively accusing others, and in doing so, he falls into self-deceit and therefore is a hypocrite. The more he finds fault in others, the more confident he becomes in his own worth, and the more easily he appeases his conscience regarding the inconsistency between his moral state and his actions, as well as the incongruity between his private life and his public ways.
