Proverbs 26:23-26
International Standard Version
23 A clay vessel plated with a thin veneer of silver—
that’s what smooth[a] lips with a wicked heart are.
24 Someone who hates hides behind his words,
harboring deceit within himself.
25 Though he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven detestable things in his heart.
26 Though malice disguises itself with deception,
its evil will be exposed publicly.

Proverbs 26:23-26
Lexham English Bible
23 Like impure silver[a] which overlays an earthen vessel,
so are smooth lips and an evil heart[b].
24 On his lips, an enemy will pretend,
but inside[c] 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.
