23 Like an earthenware (A)vessel overlaid with silver [a](B)impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24 One who (C)hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors (D)deceit in his [b]heart.
25 When [c]he (E)speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred (F)covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be (G)revealed in the assembly.
