Proverbs 26:23-28

Proverbs 26:23-28 CSB

Smooth  lips with an evil heart are like glaze on an earthen vessel.  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. The one who digs a pit will fall into it, and whoever rolls a stone — it will come back on him.  A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
