Proverbs 26:23-26
New American Standard Bible
23 Like an earthenware (A)vessel overlaid with silver [a](B)impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24 One who (C)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors (D)deceit in his [b]heart.
25 When [c]he (E)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (F)covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be (G)revealed in the assembly.

23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart
Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips;
But he layeth up deceit within him:
25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not;
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.
