Proverbs 26:21-23

Wycliffe Bible

²¹ As dead coals at quick coals, and trees at the fire [As dead coals to quick coals, and wood to fire]; so a wrathful man (that) raiseth chidings. (Like dead coals to burning coals, and wood to fire, is an angry person who raiseth up arguments, or strife.)

²² The words of a privy backbiter be as simple (The words of a gossip be tasty); and those come till to the innerest things of the heart.

²³ As if thou wouldest adorn a vessel of earth, (that is, a cheap pot made out of clay,) with the dross of silver, so be swelling lips fellowshipped with a full wicked heart.
