Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started. The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach. Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste. With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him; When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils: Though his hate is covered with deceit, his sin will be seen openly before the meeting of the people. He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again. A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.
