Proverbs 27:19

Compare all

17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

18 ^aWhoever¹ keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
So he who waits on his master will be honored.

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.

Proverbs 27:19

Solomon here is comparing our heart to smooth water or a mirror that literally reflects an image back and out to God, and out to each other. In I Samuel 16:7, we read, “For the Lord does not see as a man sees, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Psalm 139:23-24 reads, “Search me, O God, and know my heart and see if there is any wicked way in me.”
