Proverbs 27:20-22

World English Bible

²⁰ Sheol^[a] and Abaddon are never satisfied;
    and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
²¹ The crucible is for silver,
    and the furnace for gold;
    but man is refined by his praise.
²² Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
    yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
