A person who hates disguises himself with his lips,
but he harbors deceit in his inner being; Bible see other translations

“A person who hates.” Some versions, commentators, and lexiconsa see this phrase as meaning, “an enemy” (cp. NAB; NIV2011; Douay-Rheims; NRSV). People who hate others, and enemies, often disguise the truth by lying.

“harbors deceit.” The literal Hebrew is “places deceit,” but in this context, it means to harbor deceit.
