Commentary

Silver Dross or Glaze?

Some modern scholars claim that the Hebrew כֶּ֣סֶף סִ֭יגִים is mistranslated as "silver dross" and the true reading as revealed in the Ugaritic language should be "gloss".

NASB

1977 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross are burning lips and a wicked heart.
1995 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross are burning lips and a wicked heart.

NIV

1984 Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. NIV
2005 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. TNIV
2011 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. (NIV2011)

While the 1984 NIV had “a coating of glaze”, the TNIV and NIV 2011 have reverted to the Masoretic text reading of “silver dross”.

NET

26:23 Like a coating of glaze¹ over earthenware are fervent² lips with an evil heart.³

1 tn The traditional translation of “silver dross” (so KJV, ASV, NASB) never did make much sense because the parallel idea deals with hypocrisy – “fervent lips with an evil heart.” But silver dross would not be used over earthenware – instead it is discarded. Yet the MT clearly has “silver dross” (כֶּסֶף סִיגִים, kesef sigim). Ugaritic turned up a word spsg which means “glaze,” and this found a parallel in Hittite zapzaga[y]a. H. L. Ginsberg repointed the Hebrew text to k’sapsagim, “like glaze,” and this has been adopted by many commentators and recent English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). The final ם (mem) is then classified as enclitic. See, among others, K. L. Barker, “The Value of Ugaritic for Old Testament Studies,” BSac 133 (1976): 128-29.

REV

Like a clay vessel covered with silver dross are smootha lips and a wicked heart.

“silver dross.” Some scholars argue from the Ugaritic that this should be translated as “silver glaze,” but many other scholars disagree. There is no necessary reason to change the Hebrew text. The point of the verse is that just as a clay vessel covered in silver dross is made to look valuable but is deceptive, so are smooth lips that conceal a wicked heart.
