¹⁹Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another.
²⁰Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
and human eyes are never satisfied.
²¹The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
so a person is tested by being praised.
²²Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle
along with crushed grain,
but the folly will not be driven out. ²³Know well the condition of your flocks,
and give attention to your herds;
²⁴for riches do not last forever,
nor a crown for all generations.
²⁵When the grass is gone, and new growth appears,
and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,
²⁶the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field;
²⁷there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and nourishment for your servant-girls.
