23 Like silver dross on an earthen vesselare the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,but he harbors evil in his heart.
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him;for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 His malice may be concealed by deception,but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it.Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts;and a flattering mouth works ruin.
