Proverbs 26:24-28
English Standard Version
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 (A)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are (B)seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 (C)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 26:24-28

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.
27 Whoever digs a pit(E) will fall into it;(F)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(G)

and a flattering mouth(H) works ruin.
