24 People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,
but they’re deceiving you.

Their hearts are full of many evils.[a]
26 While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.
27 If you set a trap for others,
you will get caught in it yourself.
If you roll a boulder down on others,
it will crush you instead.

and flattering words cause ruin.
