25 When [a]he (A)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (B)covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be (C)revealed in the assembly.
27 One who (D)digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
