Proverbs 26:23-28 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

23. Fervent lips and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.

24. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him:

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

26. Though his hatred cover itself with guile, his wickedness shall be openly shewed before the congregation.

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

28. A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
