What are Lips?
LIPS
This word has various peculiar significations in the Scriptures. Unclean lips, Isa 6:5, are lips polluted by sinful words; calves of our lips, Hos 14:2, sacrifices of praise; burning lips, Prov 26:23, lips through which the expressions of malice, envy, and other malignant passions are continually passing. Acts 9:1, or, as it is oftener interpreted, burning with false professions of piety and friendship. Covering the lips, Eze 24:22, or chin with the outer garment was a token of mourning. The word occurs, besides, in a great number of metaphorical expressions easy to understand.
