10 Like an archer who wounds everyone,
so is he who hires a fool or he who hires passersby.
Proverbs 26:24-28
New International Version
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,(A)
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.(B)
25 Though their speech is charming,(C) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(D)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(E) will fall into it;(F)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(G)
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth(H) works ruin.
Proverbs 26:24-28
Lexham English Bible
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.
