The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Burning lips and a wicked heart [are like] a potsherd covered with silver dross.

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.
