Proverbs 26:24-28
New King James Version
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 (A)When [a]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 revealed before the assembly.
27 (B)Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works (C)ruin.

his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
