Proverbs 27:20
18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
19 As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
22 Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him.
