Proverbs 26:23-26
New King James Version
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 (A)When [a]he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.

2 Samuel 12:7-15
New King James Version
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I (A)anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! 9 (B)Why have you (C)despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? (D)You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, (E)the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will (F)take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, (G)but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.’ ”
13 (H)So David said to Nathan, (I)“I have sinned against the Lord.”
And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has (J)put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord (K)to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.” 15 Then Nathan departed to his house.
