Proverbs 10:18

We should forgive other people. Even when someone hurts us, we should not hate that person. Instead we should pray for them.

Many people secretly hate someone else. The first line says that this is like a lie.

Other people talk about the person whom they hate. Perhaps they actually tell lies about that person. This happens in the second line of this verse.

This verse teaches that both of these are wrong. We should not hate someone silently. We should not talk about a person whom we hate. Instead we should forgive such a person.
