Proverbs 27:21 — Meaning and Application

As in water face {answereth} to face, so the heart of man to man.

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. {never: Heb. not}

{As} the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so {is} a man to his praise.

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, {yet} will not his foolishness depart from him.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, {and} look well to thy herds. {look...: Heb. set thy heart}
