Proverbs 26:23-26
Legacy Standard Bible
23 Like an earthen (A)vessel overlaid with silver (B)dross
Are fiery lips and an evil heart.
24 He who (C)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he sets up (D)deceit within himself.
25 When he (E)makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (F)covers itself with guile,
His evil will be (G)revealed in the assembly.

Proverbs 26:23-26
New International Version
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(A)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(B)
25 Though their speech is charming,(C) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(D)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
