Proverbs 26:22-26 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. The words of a gossip are like tasty bits of food.People take them all in.

23. Kind words from a wicked mindare like a shiny coating on a clay pot.

24. A person who hates you may fool you with his words.But in his mind he is planning evil.

25. His words are kind, but don’t believe him.His mind is full of evil thoughts.

26. He hides his hate with lies.But his evil will be plain to everyone.
