¹⁰ Like an archer who wounds everybody
    is he who hires a passing fool or drunkard.^[a]

²⁴ He who hates, dissembles with his lips
    and harbors deceit in his heart;
²⁵ when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
    for there are seven abominations in his heart;
²⁶ though his hatred be covered with guile,
    his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
²⁷ He who digs a pit will fall into it,
    and a stone will come back upon him who starts it rolling.
²⁸ A lying tongue hates its victims,
    and a flattering mouth works ruin.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

⁵ A man who flatters his neighbor
    spreads a net for his feet.
