Proverbs 26:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version

22 Words of a gossip are like food that is easy to swallow.
They go down to the depths of one’s heart.[a]
23 Fervent[b] lips and an evil heart
are like a glaze[c] covering a clay pot.
24 With his lips a person hides his hatred,
but he hides deceit inside.

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 26:22 Literally the innermost rooms of the belly
  2. Proverbs 26:23 The translation follows the Hebrew. The Greek Old Testament reads smooth.
  3. Proverbs 26:23 The Hebrew text reads silver dross. Combining two Hebrew words into one word yields the translation glaze.
