"People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,
but they're deceiving you.
They pretend to be kind, but don't believe them.
Their hearts are full of many evils.
While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
their wrongdoing will be exposed in public."
We are to be discerning and not naïve about people. Some people are deceptive. This passage suggests also that we should give people time for their true character to come out. When considering working with someone or beginning any other kind of long-term relationship, you have to give it time so you can discern that person's true character. Pay attention to what other people say about them; take the time to check things out. If there's anything to know, this passage suggests that it will come to light.
