Proverbs 27:19-21
New American Standard Bible

19 As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person.
20 [a](A)Sheol and [b]Abaddon are (B)never satisfied,
Nor are the (C)eyes of a person ever satisfied.
21 The (D)crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each (E)is tested by the praise accorded him.
