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.

24 On his lips, an enemy will pretend,
    but inside[a] he will harbor deceit.
25 When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
    for seven abominations are in his heart.
26 Though hatred is covered with guile,
    its evil will be exposed in the assembly.
27 He who digs a pit, in it he will fall,
    and he who rolls a stone, on him it will come back.
28 A tongue of deceit hates its victim,
    and a flattering mouth makes ruin.
