23 

Smooth words may hide a wicked heart,
     just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot.

24 

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

25 

They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them.
     Their hearts are full of many evils.

26 

While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
     their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

This proverb warns against hypocrisy. Jesus put it this way: "You hypocrites are like whitewashed tombs—nice-looking on the outside but full of decay and filth on the inside."

Think about this: An evil-minded hypocrite might say, "Don’t judge me, you hypocrite!" as a way to distract others from their own bad intentions. Verse 25 tells us not to trust a wicked person. God doesn't want us to be blind to what's really going on or to fall into traps set by bad people. Instead, we should rely on the Holy Spirit to help us see whether someone’s words come from a good or bad place.
