Proverbs 27:21
A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.
