¹⁸ Like a madman who throws ^(A)firebrands, arrows, and death
¹⁹ is the man who deceives his neighbor
    and says, “I am only joking!”

²⁴ Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
    and harbors deceit in his heart;
^25 (A)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
    for there are ^(B)seven abominations in his heart;

²⁸ A lying tongue hates its victims,
    and a flattering mouth works ruin.
