Verse 28 is found in chapter 26 of Proverbs. The reader receives a warning against immediately trusting pleasant words when the heart contains malice. Hidden hostility will eventually be exposed. The final proverbs describe moral reciprocity: whoever digs a pit may fall into it, and whoever rolls a stone may have it roll back upon him. Lies and flattery ultimately harm the person who uses them as instruments.
