Ash-Shu‘arā’ 26:223
The verse
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ ٢٢٣
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars. — Marmaduke Pickthall
The issue
The topic of the discussion here is about the diviners or the devils. The verse states that “but most of them are liars,” which suggests that some diviners or devils are truthful.
