19. As the waters reflect face to face, so the heart of a person reflects the person.
20. Sheol and Abaddon will not be satisfied, and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied either.
21. A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace for the gold, but a man is tested by the mouth of him who praises him.
22. If you crush a fool in the mortar with the pestle along with the crushed grain, it will not drive folly from upon him.
23. You will surely know the condition of your flock; your heart attends to the herds.
24. For riches are not forever, nor a crown for generation after generation.
25. When the grass is gone, then green growth will appear, and the herbs of the mountains will be gathered.
26. Lambs will be your clothing, and goats the price of the field.
27. And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and the nourishment of your maidservants.
