^10 [a]Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.

²⁴ He who ^(A)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he sets up ^(B)deceit within himself.
²⁵ When he ^(C)makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
²⁶ Though his hatred ^(D)covers itself with guile,
His evil will be ^(E)revealed in the assembly.
²⁷ He who ^(F)digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone, it will turn back on him.
²⁸ A lying tongue hates ^[a]those it crushes,
And a ^(G)flattering mouth works ruin.

⁵ A man who ^(A)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
