27Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

25 When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven abominations are in his heart.

26 Hatred is covered by deceit, Revealed is its wickedness in an assembly.

27 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

28 A lying tongue hateth its bruised ones, And a flattering mouth worketh an overthrow!
