Proverbs 27:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹Just as water reflects the face,
    so one human heart reflects another.
²⁰Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
    and human eyes are never satisfied.
²¹The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    so a person is tested^[a] by being praised.
