24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
but he harbors evil in his heart. 25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him;
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
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.
