24 An enemie wyll dissemble with his lippes, and layeth vp deceipt in his heart.

25 But when he speaketh fayre, beleue hym not: for there are seuen abhominations in his heart.

26 Hatred maye be couered by deceipt: but the malice therof shalbe shewed before the whole congregation.

27 Who so diggeth vp a pit, shal fall therin: and he that rolleth vp a stone, it wyl returne vpon hym.

28 A lying tongue hateth the afflicted: and a flattering mouth worketh mischiefe.
