Proverbs 27:20-22

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁰ ¶ Sheol and hell are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹ ¶ As the fining pot tries the silver and the furnace the gold; so the man is tried by the mouth of whoever praises him.

²² ¶ Though thou should bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
