In context
22 The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
23 As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
24 He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
25 Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
26 Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
27 He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him.
28 A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.
