Proverbs 27:20-22

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ Sheol and Abaddon^(A) are never satisfied,^(B)
and people’s eyes are never satisfied.^(C)

²¹ As a crucible refines silver,
and a smelter refines gold,
so a person should refine his praise.^(D)

²² Though you grind a fool
in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
you will not separate his foolishness from him.^(E)
