Proverbs 27:20-22

20 Death and Destruction[a] are never satisfied,(A)
    and neither are human eyes.(B)

21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,(C)
    but people are tested by their praise.

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
    grinding them like grain with a pestle,
    you will not remove their folly from them.
