When our hearts are far from the truth, anything will satisfy our thirsty hearts.
"An evil doer gives heed to wicked lips, and a liar listens to a mischievous tongue." Proverbs 17:4, Amplified
Both persons described in this verse are practicing in the flesh. There is the evil doer. His heart is given over to evil and will be swayed by anything that come his way. And the liar will be swayed by an evil and mischievous tongue. In essence, both will be brought down by their own mode of evil.
This is why we need to seek the truth and fortify ourselves within it. As we practice what is good, wicked lips will have no sway over our hearts because we are founded upon the Son. As we practice the truth, mischievous lips will not tempt us, for we can discern the truth. Fortify your hearts.
