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.
