Deceptive concealment of hatred · dominant
In Proverbs 26:26, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause where hatred is covered; the APB renders the verse, “Hatred is covered by guile; his harm is uncovered in the assembly.” This places the term in a contrast between concealed hatred and subsequently exposed harm.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Proverbs 26:26, the APB presents the term within the clause “Hatred is covered by guile.” That wording confirms the clause's sense without establishing a finer lexical distinction.
