Proverbs 26:26-28
New King James Version
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 (A)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works (B)ruin.
Proverbs 26:26-28
English Standard Version
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 (A)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.
