24 One who (A)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors (B)deceit in his [a]heart.
25 When [b]he (C)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (D)covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be (E)revealed in the assembly.
27 One who (F)digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

And a (G)flattering mouth works ruin.

His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.

And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
