What the Bible says about Silver Dross
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Proverbs 26:23 This verse to the end of the chapter speaks primarily of hypocrisy. Verse 23 describes a person who claims to be a friend yet deceitfully works against another through "clever" language. The lips "glitter," but the heart is false. Silver dross hides the reality of a clay pot just as clever words can hide a corrupt heart. John W. Ritenbaugh The Ninth Commandment (1997) Related Topics: Cleverness | Corrupt Heart | Hypocrisy | Ninth Commandment | Speech | The Ninth Commandment
