New International Version (NIV) |
|
23 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
|
23 Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
|
|
24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
|
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.
|
|
25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, 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 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
|
26 His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
