Proverbs 26:23DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 23 of 28

"Burning lips and a wicked heart a potsherd covered with silver dross."
Proverbs 26:23

In context

21coals to burning coals, and wood to fire; so a contentious man to kindle strife.

22The words of a talebearer as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

23Burning lips and a wicked heart a potsherd covered with silver dross.

24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for seven abominations in his heart.
