Proverbs 27:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. A person who takes good care of a fig tree will eat its fruit. And a person who looks after his master will be honored.

19. When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face. When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like.

20. Death and the Grave are never satisfied. A man's eyes are never satisfied either.

21. Fire tests silver. Heat tests gold. But a man is tested by the praise he receives.

22. You can grind a foolish person in a mill. You can grind him as you would grind grain with a tool. But you can't remove his foolishness from him.
