23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent
23 Like the glaze
23 Smooth talk from an evil heart is like glaze on cracked pottery.
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
23 Smooth words may hide a wicked heart, just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 26:23
Commentary on Proverbs 26:23
(Read Proverbs 26:23)
A wicked heart disguising itself, is like a potsherd covered with the dross of silver.
