Proverbs 26:26 - Exposition

Whose hatred is covered by deceit; or, hatred may be concealed by deceit , as was said above ( Proverbs 26:24 ). (But) his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation. The hater's real wickedness, at some time or other, in spite of all his efforts to hide it, will be openly displayed. He will show it before some third party and thus it will be divulged. At any rate, this will be the case at the judgment day, when he who hateth his brother shall be shown to be not only a murderer, but a hater of God also ( 1 John 3:15 ; 1 John 4:20 ). Septuagint, "He that hideth enmity prepareth deceit, but he revealeth his own sins, being well known in assemblies."
