Proverbs 27:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹¶ As in water face corresponds to face, so the heart of man to man.

²⁰¶ Sheol and hell are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹¶ As the fining pot tries the silver and the furnace the gold; so the man is tried by the mouth of whoever praises him.

Proverbs 27:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.^[a]

²⁰Death and Destruction^[b] are never satisfied,^(A)
and neither are human eyes.^(B)

²¹The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,^(C)
but people are tested by their praise.
