Proverbs 26:23-26
World English Bible
23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel
are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
but he harbors evil in his heart.
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 His malice may be concealed by deception,
but his wickedness will be exposed 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.

King James Version
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

And lays up deceit within himself;

For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
