Proverbs 26:24-26
World English Bible
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
but he harbors evil in his heart.
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 His malice may be concealed by deception,
but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
Proverbs 26:24-26
Common English Bible
24 Hateful people mislead with their lips,
keeping their deception within.
25 Though they speak graciously, don’t believe them,
for seven horrible things are in their heart.
26 They may cover their hatred with trickery,
but their evil will be revealed in public.
Proverbs 26:28
World English Bible
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 26:28

28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes;
a flattering mouth causes destruction.
