Proverbs 27:20

All About Life

¹⁹ Like as in one water there appear divers faces, even so divers men have divers hearts. ²⁰ Like as hell and destruction are never full, even so the eyes of men can never be satisfied. ²¹ Silver is tried in the mould, and gold in the furnace, and so is a man, when he is openly praised to his face.

Ecclesiastes 4:8

There is one man, no more but himself alone, having neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of his careful travail, his eyes cannot be satisfied with riches.
