menu_book Verse in Context

25 There is an exquisite subtlety, and it is unjust. And there is one who perverts favor to gain a judgment.

26 There is one who does wickedly, who hangs down his head with mourning; but inwardly he is full of deceit,

27 bowing down his face, and pretending to be deaf in one ear. Where he isn’t known, he will take advantage of you.

28 And if for lack of power he is hindered from sinning, if he finds opportunity, he will do mischief.

29 A man will be known by his appearance. One who has understanding will be known by his face when you meet him.
