“Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.”
“ Fervent lips and a wicked heart Arelikean earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross. ”
“Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.”
“Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthern vessel adorned with silver dross.”
“Smooth lips and an evil heart are like a vessel of earth plated with silver waste.”
“Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.”
Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.
Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; and they have gone down into a person’s innermost being.
Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
The one who hates others disguises it with his lips, but he stores up deceit within him.
When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations within him.
Though his hatred may be concealed by deceit, his evil will be uncovered in the assembly.
