Proverbs 26:24–26

Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips

and harbors deceit in his heart;

when he speaks graciously, believe him not,

for there are seven abominations in his heart;

though his hatred be covered with deception,

his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,

but in their hearts they harbor deceit.

Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,

for seven abominations fill their hearts.

Their malice may be concealed by deception,

but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

A hateful person disguises himself with his speech

and harbors deceit within.

When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,

for there are seven detestable things in his heart.

Though his hatred is concealed by deception,

his evil will be revealed in the assembly.

People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,

but they’re deceiving you.

They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them.

Their hearts are full of many evils.

While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,

their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

On his lips, an enemy will pretend,

but inside he will harbor deceit.

When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,

for seven abominations are in his heart.

Though hatred is covered with guile,

its evil will be exposed in the assembly.

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips,

And layeth up deceit within him;

When he speaketh fair, believe him not:

For there are seven abominations in his heart.

Whose hatred is covered by deceit,

His wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
