Proverbs 26:23-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. Burning lips and a wicked heartare like earthenware covered with silver dross.

24. He who hates dissembles with his lips,and lays up deceit within him;

25. when 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 shown before the whole congregation.

27. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him.

28. A lying tongue hates those who are afflicted by it,and a flattering mouth works ruin.
