19As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
20Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.
21As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
22Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
