Proverbs 27:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 27:19

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.

22 ^aThough you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
