Proverbs 27:20-22

Modern English Version

²⁰ Death and destruction are never full;
    so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹ As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold,
    so is a man to his praise.

²² Though you should grind a fool in a mortar
    among wheat with a pestle,
    yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
