Revised Standard Version RSV

23 Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are smooth lips with an evil heart.

24 He who hates, dissembles with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;

25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred be covered with guile, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
