Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.
The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool.
And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.
Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit.
The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
