Proverbs 27:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
and human eyes are never satisfied.(A)
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
so a person is tested[a] by being praised.(B)
22 Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle
along with crushed grain,
but the folly will not be driven out.(C)
