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;
²⁶ though his hatred be covered with deception,
    his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

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