Proverbs 26

1

11 covering an earthen vessel

are smooth lips with an evil heart.

24 Prov 10.18; 12.20 An enemy dissembles in speaking

while harboring deceit within;

25 Ps 28.3; Jer 9.8 when an enemy speaks graciously, do not believe it,

for there are seven abominations concealed within;

26 Mt 23.28; Lk 8.17 though hatred is covered with guile,

the enemy’s wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

27 Ps 7.15; Prov 28.10; Eccl 10.8 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,

and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.

28 Prov 29.5 A lying tongue hates its victims,

and a flattering mouth works ruin.
