Proverbs 26:22-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
22
The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
23
Like
an earthenware vessel overlaid with silver impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24
One who hates disguises
it
with his lips,
But he harbors deceit in his heart.
25
When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
26
Though his
hatred covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be revealed in the assembly.
27
One who digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28
A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
King James Version
Chapter 26
22
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
22
A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.
23
Smooth lips with an evil heart
are like glaze on an earthen vessel.
24
A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbors deceit within.
25
When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven detestable things in his heart.
26
Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27
The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.
28
A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
22
Rumors are dainty morsels
that sink deep into one’s heart.
23
Smooth words may hide a wicked heart,
just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot.
24
People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,
but they’re deceiving you.
25
They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them.
Their hearts are full of many evils.
26
While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.
27
If you set a trap for others,
you will get caught in it yourself.
If you roll a boulder down on others,
it will crush you instead.
28
A lying tongue hates its victims,
and flattering words cause ruin.
English Standard Version
Chapter 26
22
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
23
Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
25
when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are seven abominations in his heart;
26
though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
28
A lying tongue hates its victims,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
New International Version
Chapter 26
22
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
23
Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24
Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
25
Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26
Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27
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 hurts,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
New King James Version
Chapter 26
22
The words of a talebearer
are
like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body.
23
Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like
earthenware covered with silver dross.
24
He who hates, disguises
it
with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25
When he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For
there are
seven abominations in his heart;
26
Though his
hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
28
A lying tongue hates
those who are
crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
