Proverbs 27:21-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
21
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each
is tested
by the praise accorded him.
22
Though you pound the fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
His foolishness
still
will not leave him.
King James Version
Chapter 27
21
As
the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so
is
a man to his praise.
22
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle,
yet
will not his foolishness depart from him.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
21
As a crucible refines silver, and a smelter refines gold, so a person should refine his praise.
22
Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, you will not separate his foolishness from him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 27
21
Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
but a person is tested by being praised.
22
You cannot separate fools from their foolishness,
even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.
English Standard Version
Chapter 27
21
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.
22
Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.
New International Version
Chapter 27
21
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but people are tested by their praise.
22
Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their folly from them.
New King James Version
Chapter 27
21
The refining pot
is
for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man
is valued
by what others say of him.
22
Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet
his foolishness will not depart from him.
