    but dishonesty ruins the treacherous.

³⁰ Those who wink their eye plot destruction;
    those who purse their lips plan evil.

¹⁴ The buyer says, “Bad, bad,”

⁶ Don’t eat food with stingy people;
    don’t long for their delicacies,
⁷     because they are like a hair in the throat.^[a]
They say to you, “Eat and drink!”
    but they don’t mean it.
⁸ You will eat scraps and vomit them out.
    You will waste your pleasant words.

²³ Smooth^[a] lips and an evil heart
    are like silver coating on clay.
²⁴ Hateful people mislead with their lips,
    keeping their deception within.
²⁵ Though they speak graciously, don’t believe them,
    for seven horrible things are in their heart.
²⁶ They may cover their hatred with trickery,
    but their evil will be revealed in public.
