Proverbs 26:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ Though his hatred covers itself with guile, his wickedness shall be shown openly before the assembly.

²⁷ Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] shall fall into it himself, and he who rolls a stone [up a height to do mischief], it will return upon him.^(A)

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
