| 24 | He who hates, disguises it with his lips, But he stores up deceit in his heart. | Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; | Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit. | |
| 25 | When he speaks graciously and kindly [to conceal his malice], do not trust him, For seven abominations are in his heart. | when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; | Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. | |
| 26 | Though his hatred covers itself with guile and deceit, His malevolence will be revealed openly before the assembly. | though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. | Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. | |
| 27 | Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him. | Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. | Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them. | |
| 28 | A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin. | A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin. | A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin. | |
