Proverbs 26:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

²² We love to hear other people's secrets.
    They seem like good food that we can really enjoy.
²³ When a hypocrite says nice words,
    that is like a cheap pot with silver paint.
²⁴ A hypocrite can say nice things to hide his thoughts,
    but he is still thinking about ways to hurt people.
