Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 26:23: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

כֶּ֣סֶף סִ֭יגִים מְצֻפֶּ֣ה עַל־חָ֑רֶשׂ שְׂפָתַ֖יִם דֹּלְקִ֣ים וְלֶב־רָֽע׃

De l’alliage d’argent recouvrant un vase d’argile, telles sont des lèvres brûlantes d’amitié et un cœur méchant.

Rashi on Proverbs

overlaid on earthenware Like silver dross attached to the earthenware in which it is refined, making the utensil shine as though it were silver although it has no use, so are burning lips and wicked heart, which pursue people to entice them with smooth and hypocritical talk.

Rashi on Proverbs

and a wicked heart They appear to be friends, but they are enemies.

Rashi on Proverbs

burning Heb. דולקים, as in “you pursued (דלקת) me so hotly” (Gen. 31:36).
