Proverbs 27:20

All About Life

¹⁹ As in water the face is reflected as a face, so a person's heart reflects the person. ²⁰ As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied. ²¹ As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, so a person is proved by the praise he receives.
