21As for a wound it may be bound vp, and after reuiling there may be reconcilement: but he that bewrayeth secrets is without hope. 22He that winketh with the eies worketh euil, and he that knoweth him will depart from him. 23When thou art present he will speake sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings. 24I haue hated many things, but nothing like him, for the Lord will hate him. 25Who so casteth a stone on high, casteth it on his owne head, and a deceitfull stroke shall make wounds.
