Mishle 27:20-22

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁰ Sheol and Avaddon are never full; so the eynayim of adam are never satisfied.

²¹ As the crucible is for kesef, and the furnace for zahav; so is an ish tested by the praise he receives.

²² Though thou shouldest grind a fool in the makhtesh (mortar) among grain with the pestle, yet will not his folly be removed from him.
