Proverbs 26:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶Their hatred can be hidden by lies.
But their evil plans will be shown to everyone.

²⁷Whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
If someone rolls a big stone, it will roll back on them.

²⁸A tongue that tells lies hates the people it hurts.
And words that seem to praise you destroy you.
