Proverbs26:23
23 Burning lips, and a wicked heart, are like a potsherd covered with silver dross .
Either 1. With Love. Words delivered with shew of true and fervent affection. Or rather 2. With Malice or hatred. A slanderous or evil Tongue: For this word is constantly used in a bad sense, and notes the heat of Rage and Persecution.
Such a Tongue and Heart are of no real worth, although somtimes they make a shew of it, as Dross doth of Silver.
