Proverbs 26:23
Compare all
21 aAs charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife. 
22 The words of a1 talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the1 inmost body. 
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 aWhen1 he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart; 
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 aWhoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. 
28 A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works aruin.
