Proverbs 26:23-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
23 Like an earthenware vessel overlaid with silver impurities Are burning lips and a wicked heart. 24One who hates disguises it with his lips, But he harbors deceit in his heart. 25When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, Because there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Though his hatred covers itself with deception, His wickedness will be revealed in the assembly.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
23Smooth lips with an evil heart are like glaze on an earthen vessel. 24A hateful person disguises himself with his speech and harbors deceit within. 25When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him, for there are seven detestable things in his heart. 26Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his evil will be revealed in the assembly.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 26
23 Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. 24Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; 25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; 26though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.New International Version
Chapter 26
23Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. 24Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor 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.New King James Version
