heres. "Sherd," anything "serered". A piece of earthenware broken. Pro_26:23, "burning lips (lips professing burning love) and a wicked heart are like a potsherd (a fragment of common earthenware) silvered over with dross"; implying "roughness, dryness, and brittleness". Psa_22:15, "my strength is dried up like a potsherd" or earthen vessel exposed to heat; the drying up of the vital juices caused Christ's excessive thirst (Joh_19:28). In Job_2:8 not a potsherd but an instrument for scratching is meant. Isa_45:9, i.e. whatever good one might promise himself from striving with his fellow creature of earth, to strive with one's Maker is suicidal madness (Isa_27:4).

Potsherd. Also, in Authorized Version, "sherd," a broken piece of earthenware. Pro_26:23.

pot?shûrd (חרשׂ, ḥeres): A piece of earthenware (Job_2:8; Psa_22:15; Isa_45:9). the Revised Version (British and American) renders the word in Pro_26:23, ?an earthen vessel,? and in Job_41:30 substitutes ?sharp potsherds? for ?sharp stones.? Sirach 22:7 refers to the art of ?gluing a potsherd (ὄστρακον, óstrakon) together.? See HARSITH; OSTRACA.

Potsherd is figuratively used in Scripture to denote a thing worthless and insignificant (Psa_22:15; Pro_26:23; Isa_45:9). It may illustrate some of these allusions to remind the reader of the fact, that the sites of ancient towns are often covered at the surface with great quantities of broken pottery. The present writer has usually found this pottery to be of coarse texture, but coated and protected with a strong and bright-colored glaze, mostly bluish-green, and sometimes yellow. These fragments give to some of the most venerable sites in the world the appearance of a deserted pottery rather than of a town. The fact is, however, that they occur only upon the sites of towns which were built with crude brick; and this suggests that the heaps of ruin into which these had fallen being disintegrated, and worn at the surface by the action of the weather, bring to view and leave exposed the broken pottery, which is not liable to be thus dissolved and washed away. This explanation was suggested by the actual survey of such ruins; and we know not that a better has yet been offered in any other quarter. It is certainly remarkable that of the more mighty cities of old time, nothing but potsherds now remain visible at the surface of the ground.
Towns built with stone, or kiln-burnt bricks, do not exhibit this form of ruin, which is, therefore, not usually met with in Palestine.

Psa_22:15 (b) A potsherd is a piece of a broken clay pot which has no value. The Lord is describing in figurative language the way He would suffer on Calvary, be broken, and apparently have no value to GOD or to men.
Pro_26:23 (b) This is a remarkable description of a hypocrite. The potsherd is worthless and the silver dross is worthless, yet the dross on the potsherd is an effort to make it look attractive and appear valuable.
Isa_45:9 (a) Man is described as a broken piece of gourd fighting with and arguing with another man who is also a piece of a gourd. It is an expression of derision and contempt.

Potsherd
(חֶרֶשׂ, chires, from the root חָרִס, to scrape or scratch; Sept. ὄστρακον; Vulg. testa, vas fictile; sherd in two places, once stone, often earthen vessel), a bit of pottery ware (Job_2:8), is figuratively used in Scripture to denote a thing worthless and insignificant (Psa_22:15; Pro_26:23 : Isa_45:9).
