Proverbs 26:23-28

1. 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

2. 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

3. 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

4. 26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

5. 27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

6. 28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
