Proverbs 27:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 27:21

19 As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.

20 ^aHell¹ and Destruction are never full;
So ^bthe eyes of man are never satisfied.

21 ^aThe refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.

23 Be diligent to know the state of your ^aflocks,
And attend to your herds;
