24 People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they're deceiving you.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 26:24

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.
