And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.

And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

And it came to pass whensoever the strong cattle were ardent, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might become ardent among the rods;

Ardent lips, and a wicked heart, are as an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
