Proverbs 26:24-26
New Living Translation
24 People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,
but they’re deceiving you.
25 They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them.
Their hearts are full of many evils.[a]
26 While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

But he sets up (B)deceit within himself.
25 When he (C)makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (D)covers itself with guile,
His evil will be (E)revealed in the assembly.
