Proverbs 27:19-24

¹⁹As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.

²⁰Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.

²²Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

²³Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds:

²⁴For riches are not for ever; And doth the crown endure unto all generations?
