Proverbs 26:23-26

International Standard Version

²³ A clay vessel plated with a thin veneer of silver—
    that’s what smooth^[a] lips with a wicked heart are.
²⁴ Someone who hates hides behind his words,
    harboring deceit within himself.
²⁵ Though he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
    for there are seven detestable things in his heart.
²⁶ Though malice disguises itself with deception,
    its evil will be exposed publicly.
