Proverbs 26:23-28

The Danger of Deceit and Malice

Proverbs 26:23-28
23
Like silver slag overlaid on a clay pot are lips that burn [with friendship] over a hating heart.
24
He who hates may hide it with his speech; but inside, he harbors deceit.
25
He may speak pleasantly, but don't trust him; for seven abominations are in his heart.
26
His hatred may be concealed by deceit, but his wickedness will be revealed in the assembly.
27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.
28
A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
