7 The sated appetite spurns honey, but to a ravenous appetite even the bitter is sweet.(A)
19 Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
19 Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, so a person is tested[a] by being praised.(A)
