Proverbs 27:7

⁷An appetite^[a] that is sated spurns honey,
but to an appetite^[b] that is ravenous, all bitterness is sweet.

Proverbs 27:7

Common English Bible

⁷Someone who is full refuses honey,
but anything bitter tastes sweet to a hungry person.

¹⁹As the waters reflect face to face,^[a]
so the heart of a person reflects the person.

¹⁹As water reflects the face,
so the heart reflects one person to another.

²¹A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace for the gold,
but a man is tested by the mouth of him who praises him.

²¹A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold;
so are people in the presence of someone who praises them.
