Proverbs 26:23-28

New American Standard Bible

²³ Like an earthenware ^(A)vessel overlaid with silver ^[a](B)impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
²⁴ One who ^(C)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors ^(D)deceit in his ^[b]heart.
²⁵ When ^[c]he ^(E)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
²⁶ Though his hatred ^(F)covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be ^(G)revealed in the assembly.
²⁷ One who ^(H)digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
²⁸ A lying tongue hates ^[d]those it crushes,
And a ^(I)flattering mouth works ruin.
