Proverbs 26:10
World English Bible
10 As an archer who wounds all,
so is he who hires a fool
or he who hires those who pass by.
Proverbs 26:10

10 The one who hires a fool or who hires those passing by
is like an archer who wounds everyone indiscriminately.
Proverbs 26:24-28
World English Bible
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
but he harbors evil in his heart.
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 His malice may be concealed by deception,
but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it.
Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 26:24-28

and harbors deceit within.
25 When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven detestable things in his heart.(A)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.(B)
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
