Proverbs 27:18-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.

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.
