¹⁰ Like an archer who wounds everyone,
    so is he who hires a fool or he who hires passersby.

²⁴ On his lips, an enemy will pretend,
    but inside^[a] he will harbor deceit.
²⁵ When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
    for seven abominations are in his heart.
²⁶ Though hatred is covered with guile,
    its evil will be exposed in the assembly.
²⁷ He who digs a pit, in it he will fall,
    and he who rolls a stone, on him it will come back.
²⁸ A tongue of deceit hates its victim,
    and a flattering mouth makes ruin.

⁶ The wounds of a friend mean well,
    but the kisses of an enemy are profane.

⁵ A strong man who flatters his neighbor
    is spreading a net for his feet.
