Proverbs 27:19-21

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another.
²⁰Sh’ol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
and human eyes are never satisfied.

²¹The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold,
but a person [is tested] by [his reaction to] praise.
