Proverbs 27:20

All About Life

¹⁹ As in water face reflects face,
So the heart of man reflects man.
²⁰ Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
²¹ The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each is tested by the praise accorded him.

There was a certain man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.

And on practicing oppression and extortion.”
