23. In the same manner as an earthen vessel, if it were adorned with impure silver, conceited lips are allied with a wicked heart.
24. An enemy is known by his lips, though it is from his heart that he draws out deceit.
25. When he will have lowered his voice, do not believe him, for there are seven vices in his heart.
26. Whoever covers hatred with deceit, his malice shall be revealed in the assembly.
27. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. And whoever rolls a stone, it will roll back to him.
28. A false tongue does not love truth. And a slippery mouth works ruin.
