24 By his lips doth a hater dissemble, And in his heart he placeth deceit, 25 When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven abominations 'are' in his heart.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 26:24-25

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.
