Proverbs 26:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 26:24

Compare all

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.
