Proverbs 27:19-21
New Living Translation

19 As a face is reflected in water,
    so the heart reflects the real person.

20 Just as Death and Destruction[a] are never satisfied,
    so human desire is never satisfied.

21 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
    but a person is tested by being praised.[b]
