Proverbs 27:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ Just as water reflects a person’s true face,
    so the human heart reflects a person’s true character.
²⁰ Neither the grave nor destruction is ever satisfied;
    the desires of people are never totally fulfilled.

²¹ The crucible is used for refining silver, the furnace for gold,
    but praise is what tests a person’s mettle.
