Proverbs 26:21-28

²¹A hearth for coals, and wood for fire; And a railing man for the tumult of strife.

²²The words of cunning knaves are soft; But they smite even to the inmost parts of the bowels.

²³Silver dishonestly given is to be considered as a potsherd: Smooth lips cover a grievous heart.

²⁴A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, But in his heart he contrives deceit.

²⁵Though thine enemy entreat thee with a loud voice, consent not: For there are seven abominations in his heart.

²⁶He that hides enmity frames deceit: but being easily discerned, Exposes his own sins in the public assemblies.

²⁷He that digs a pit for his neighbor shall fall into it: And he that rolls a stone, rolls it upon himself.

²⁸A lying tongue hates the truth; And an unguarded mouth causes tumults.
