Proverbs 27:21

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

The crucible is for silver, And the furnace for gold; But man is refined by his praise.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is `tried' by his praise.

A refining pot `is' for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.

A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
