SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:26

Aunque su odio se encubre en el desierto; su malicia serב descubierta en la congregaciףn.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 26. [Whose] hatred is covered by deceit , etc.] The hatred of whose heart is covered by deceitful words, and strong expressions of love and esteem; so that those to whom they are made are deceived by them. Or, whose “hatred is covered in a waste or desert place” f735 ; it being not seen; as what is done in desert places is not obvious to view, being little frequented; which agrees with what follows, and keeps up the antithesis between the two clauses: Schultens renders it, with a tumultuous noise, with loud and public acclamations; (see Zechariah 4:7); his wickedness shall be showed before the [whole] congregation ; in an open court of judicature, where he shall be brought, arraigned, and tried for his wickedness; which, though covertly done, shall be exposed and proved upon him: or before the church of God, where he shall be convicted by the word, and be obliged to acknowledge his sin; and, in a member, be reproved before all, and rejected: or however, at the great day of judgment, before angels and men, when all will be convened together; and where every secret work will be brought, and will be brought to light, and receive its just reward.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24-26 - Always distrust when a man speaks fair unless you know him well. Satan in his temptations, speaks fair, as he did to Eve; but it is madness to give credit to him.
