Proverbs 27:21

All About Life

²⁰ Hades and destruction, are not satisfied, and, the eyes of a man, are not satisfied. ²¹ Fining pot for silver, and crucible for gold, and, a man, is to be tried by what he praiseth. ²² Though thou pound a fool in a mortar, amidst grain, with a pestle, his folly, will not depart from him.
