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. 26 His malice may be concealed by deception,
but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 26:24-26
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.
