The Danger of Deceit and Malice
Proverbs 26:23-28
23
¶ Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24
¶ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27
¶ Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28
¶ A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
