The Danger of Deceit and Malice
23
Fervent lips and a wicked heart Arelikean earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
24
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:
25
When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:
26
Though hishatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
27
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
28
A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
