whited (painted) sepulchre. Someone who pretends to be morally better than he really is. The expression is from the Bible (Matt. 23:27): “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hyp- ocrites! for ye are unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” |
