Proverbs 26:23-26

23 ^aLike the ^bglaze ^{▼▼By revocalization; Hebrew silver of dross} 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 ^dwhen he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are ^eseven abominations in his heart;
26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

Proverbs 27:4-6

4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,
but who can stand before ^fjealousy?
5 ^gBetter is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Faithful are ^hthe wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
