In context
24 With his lips, the hater dissembleth, but, within himself, he layeth up deceit:
25 Though he make gracious his voice, do not trust him, for, seven abominations, are in his heart:
26 Hatred may clothe itself with guile, his wickedness shall be disclosed in the convocation.
27 He that diggeth a pit, thereinto, shall fall, and, he that rolleth a stone, upon himself, shall it return.
28 A false tongue, hateth them who are crushed by it, and, a flattering mouth, worketh occasion of stumbling.
