²⁴ He who ^(A)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up ^(B)deceit in his ^[a]heart.
²⁵ When ^[b]he ^(C)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
²⁶ Though his hatred ^(D)covers itself with guile,
His wickedness will be ^(E)revealed before the assembly.

²⁸ A lying tongue hates ^[a]those it crushes,
And a ^(A)flattering mouth works ruin.
