Proverbios 27

Brenton's English Septuagint

21Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.

Reina-Valera 1909

21El crisol prueba la plata, y la hornaza el oro: y al hombre la boca del que lo alaba.

King James Version

21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

World English Bible

21The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
