Proverbs 26:24-26
English Standard Version
24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
25 (A)when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are (B)seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

keeping their deception within.

for seven horrible things are in their heart.
26 They may cover their hatred with trickery,
but their evil will be revealed in public.
