ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૨૩
કુટિલ હૃદય અને મીઠી વાણી એ અશુદ્ધ ચાંદીની મલિનતાથી મઢેલા માટીના વાસણ જેવાં છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:२३
जैसा कोई चाँदी का पानी चढ़ाया हुआ मिट्टी का बर्तन हो, वैसा ही बुरे मनवाले के प्रेम भरे वचन होते हैं।

In context

21As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.

23Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.

24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.

25When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
