26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
26 though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
26 No matter how cunningly he conceals his malice, eventually his evil will be exposed in public.
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
26 While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

Commentary on Proverbs 26:24-26
(Read Proverbs 26:24-26)
Always distrust when a man speaks fair unless you know him well. Satan, in his temptations, speaks fair, as he did to Eve; but it is madness to give credit to him.
