Proverbs 26:23-26
21st Century King James Version
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips and layeth up deceit within him;
25 when he speaketh fair believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the whole congregation.

23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart
Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.

But he layeth up deceit within him:

For there are seven abominations in his heart:
26 Though his hatred cover itself with guile,
His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
