Proverbs
Chapters 26:22-28
New International Version Anglicized
22The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;they go down to the inmost parts.
23Like a coating of silver dross on earthenwareare fervent lips with an evil heart.
24Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,but in their hearts they harbour deceit.
25Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26Their malice may be concealed by deception,but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27Whoever digs a pit will fall into it;if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
28A lying tongue hates those it hurts,and a flattering mouth works ruin.
