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
Modern English Version
24 He who hates dissembles with his lips,
and lays up deceit within him;
25 when he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred is covered by deceit,
his wickedness will be shown before the whole congregation.
Proverbs 26:28

and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 26:28

and a flattering mouth works ruin.
