He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
– Proverbs 10:18

[H]atred can be hidden by flattery, inappropriate silence, or outright lies (Proverbs 26:24-25). Uttering a slander gives vent to the hatred rather than hiding it. Both are damaging and indicative of a fool (Proverbs 16:28).
