Proverbs 27:20 in Context — Proverbs 27

18 Aquele que guarda a figueira comerá de seu fruto; e o que dá atenção ao seu senhor será honrado.

19 Assim como a água reflete o rosto, assim também o coração reflete o ser humano.

20 O Xeol e a perdição nunca estão saciados; assim também os olhos do homem nunca estão satisfeitos.

21 [Como] o crisol é para a prata, e o forno para o ouro, assim o homem [é provado] pelos louvores que lhe dizem.

22 Ainda que esmagues ao tolo em um pilão junto com os grãos, ainda assim sua loucura não se separaria dele.
