7 A satisfied soul tramples the honeycomb,But to a hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet.
7 A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
19 As in water face reflects face,So the heart of man reflects man.
19 As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person.
21 The (A)refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,And each (B)is tested by the mouth that praises him.
21 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.[a]
