Proverbs 26:23-26 (Listen)

23 tLike the uglaze1 covering an earthen vessel

are fervent lips with an evil heart.

24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips

and harbors deceit in his heart;

25 vwhen he speaks graciously, believe him not,

for there are wseven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred be covered with deception,

his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
