Proverbs 27:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 As face mirrors face in water,
so the heart reflects the person.
20 Sheol and Abaddon can never be satisfied;(A)
so the eyes of mortals can never be satisfied.[a]
21 The crucible for silver, the furnace for gold,
so you must assay the praise you receive.
