Proverbs 26:24-27 He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;… The wasp's sting is provided with a barb, and when he feels particularly vicious, and drives the sting into the flesh, it becomes so firmly imbedded that the only way for him to escape is to leave the sting behind. This, however, is sure to cause his death. He receives himself such a wound that he cannot recover. We sometimes forget that when we hurt others by stinging words and treacherous acts, we ourselves, in the long run, are generally the greatest sufferers. (W. Judson.) Parallel Verses KJV: He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;WEB: A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart. |
