“Like silver dross on an earthen vesselare the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.”
Proverbs 26:23 (WEB)
Context Reading
21As coals are to hot embers,and wood to fire,so is a contentious man to kindling strife. 22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,they go down into the innermost parts. 23Like silver dross on an earthen vesselare the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart. 24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,but he harbors evil in his heart. 25When his speech is charming, don’t believe him,for there are seven abominations in his heart.
