Proverbs 27:20-22
International Standard Version
Proverbs 27:20-22
International Standard Version
21 As the crucible tests[c] silver,
and the furnace assays[d] gold;
so praise received tests[e] a man.
22 Though you crush a fool in a mortar and pestle
as someone might crush grain,
his stupidity still won’t leave him.
