Proverbs 26:23-28

23When a hypocrite says nice words, that is like a cheap pot with silver paint.

24A hypocrite can say nice things to hide his thoughts, but he is still thinking about ways to hurt people.

25Do not believe him when he speaks kind words. His mind is still full of evil things.

26He may not seem to hate people, but he is telling lies. In a public meeting, everyone will recognize his sins.

27If a man digs a deep hole as a trap, he will fall into it himself. If a man pushes a stone to fall on someone, it will fall back on him.

28If you tell lies, it shows that you hate other people. If you deceive people with sweet words, you will destroy them.
