Proverbs 27:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 As in water face answereth to face, [a]so the heart of man to man.
20 The grave and destruction can never be full, so the eyes of man can never be satisfied.
21 (A)As is the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold, so is every man according to his [b]dignity.
