Proverbs 27:19-21
New Life Version
19 As water acts as a mirror to a face, so the heart of man acts as a mirror to a man.
20 The place of the dead is never filled, and the eyes of man are never filled.
21 The melting-pot is for silver and the fire for gold, and a man is tested by the praise he receives.
