Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 26:10 The Hebrew text of this verse is uncertain

24 He who hates, dissembles 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 guile,
    his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 He who digs a pit will fall into it,
    and a stone will come back upon him who starts it rolling.
28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
    and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

A man who flatters his neighbor
    spreads a net for his feet.
