Proverbs 26:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbors deceit within.
25 When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.(A)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.

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