Proverbs 27:20

All About Life

¹⁹ Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another. ²⁰ The underworld and Abaddon are never full, and the eyes of man have never enough. ²¹ The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
