23 Like impure silver which overlays an earthen vessel, so are smooth lips and an evil heart.
24 On his lips, an enemy will pretend, but inside he will harbor deceit.
25 When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him, for seven abominations are in his heart.
26 Though hatred is covered with guile, its evil will be exposed in the assembly.
27 He who digs a pit, in it he will fall, and he who rolls a stone, on him it will come back.
28 A tongue of deceit hates its victim, and a flattering mouth makes ruin.
