He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. These proverbs focus attention on speech. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, while violence may hide behind the words of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers many offenses. Wisdom is also shown in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent: multiplying words without knowledge increases the risk of sin, while the lips of the discerning nourish others.

Falsche Mäuler bergen Haß; und wer verleumdet, der ist ein Narr.
El que encubre el odio es de labios mentirosos; Y el que echa mala fama es necio.
Quien oculta el odio tiene labios mentirosos, y quien propaga calumnias es necio.
Celui qui dissimule la haine a des lèvres menteuses, Et celui qui répand la calomnie est un insensé.
Chi copre l’odio è uomo di labbra bugiarde; E chi sbocca infamia è stolto
O que encobre o ódio tem lábios falsos, e o que divulga má fama é um insensato.
隱藏怨恨的,有說謊的嘴唇; 口出毀謗的,是愚昧人。
