Proverbs 26:24-28
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 detestable things in his heart.(A)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.(B)
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
Proverbs 26:24-28

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.
27 (C)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
