This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Burning; either,
1. With love. Words delivered with show 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.
Like a potsherd covered with silver dross; such a tongue and heart are of no real worth, although sometimes they make a show of it, as dross doth of silver.
