Proverbs 26:25-27
Common English Bible
25 Though they speak graciously, don’t believe them,
for seven horrible things are in their heart.
26 They may cover their hatred with trickery,
but their evil will be revealed in public.
27 Those who dig a pit will fall in it;
those who roll a stone will have it turn back on them.
Proverbs 26:25-27

25 Though their speech is charming,(A) do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.(B)
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit(C) will fall into it;(D)
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.(E)
