Proverbs 26:27

Verse 27 of 28. The 26th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

23Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.

24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.

25When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

26His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

27Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

28A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
