Proverbs 27:19-21
Common English Bible
19 As water reflects the face,
so the heart reflects one person to another.
20 The grave[a] and the underworld[b] are never satisfied;
and people’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold;
so are people in the presence of someone who praises them.
