Proverbs 26:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 Like a glazed finish on earthenware
are smooth lips and a wicked heart.[a]
24 With their lips enemies pretend,
but inwardly they maintain deceit;
25 When they speak graciously, do not trust them,(A)
for seven abominations[b] are in their hearts.
