Proverbs 26:21-23
The Voice
21 Like charcoal to smoldering embers and dry wood to a fire,
so a hot-tempered man kindles strife.
22 Whispered gossip is like a delicious first course:
it is devoured with pleasure and then penetrates deep within you.
23 Like a shiny glaze[a] coating a rough clay pot,
so are burning lips that conceal an evil heart.

- 26:23 Literally, “silver dross”
