| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
|
23 Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
|
|
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
|
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.
|
|
25 When he speaketh fair , believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
|
25 Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.
|
|
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
|
26 His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
