Exegesis
The imperfect yashit {יָשִׁ֥ית | yāšīt} ‘he sets’ together with the noun mirmah {מִרְמָֽה | mirmāh} ‘deceit’ forms the predicate that highlights hidden treachery. The parallelism between external expression and internal intent, along with the asyndetic structure, underscores the theme of duplicity.
Root and etymology
Rootr-m-h

In context — Proverbs 26:24
A hater disguises himself with his lips, but within him he sets deceit .
