Proverbs 26:23-26
English Standard Version
23 (A)Like the (B)glaze[a] covering an earthen vessel
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 (C)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are (D)seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

harboring deceit within himself.

for there are seven detestable things in his heart.

its evil will be exposed publicly.
