Proverbs 27:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 As the waters reflect face to face,[a]
so the heart of a person reflects the person.
20 Sheol[b] and Abaddon[c] will not be satisfied,
and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied either.
21 A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace for the gold,
but a man is tested by the mouth of him who praises him.
