Proverbs 26:24-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

24. Hateful people mislead with their lips,keeping their deception within.

25. Though they speak graciously, don’t believe them,for seven horrible things are in their heart.

26. They may cover their hatred with trickery,but their evil will be revealed in public.

27. Those who dig a pit will fall in it;those who roll a stone will have it turn back on them.

28. A lying tongue hates those it crushes;a flattering mouth causes destruction.
