^10 [a]As an archer that woundeth all,
So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.

²⁴ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips;
But he layeth up deceit within him:
²⁵ When he speaketh fair, believe him not;
For there are seven abominations in his heart:
²⁶ Though his hatred cover itself with guile,
His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
²⁷ Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein;
And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
²⁸ A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath ^[a]wounded;
And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

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

⁵ A man that flattereth his neighbor
Spreadeth a net for his steps.
