Proverbs 27:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

^20 [a](A)Sheol and ^[b]Abaddon are ^(B)never satisfied,
Nor are the ^(C)eyes of man ever satisfied.
²¹ The ^(D)crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each ^(E)is tested by the praise accorded him.
²² Though you ^(F)pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
