Proverbs 26:23-26

BBE

NIV

23 Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste.
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
25 When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils:
25 Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26 Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people.
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
