NASB
"The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him."
— Proverbs 27:21, NASB
“As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.”
“The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man istriedby his praise. ”
“The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.”
“As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, so a person must put his praise to the test.”
“As silver is tried in the fining-pot, and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.”
“The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.”
“As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.”
He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, And he who cares for his master will be honored.
As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.
Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;
For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
