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

Verse 19 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. Faithful work is illustrated through one who tends a fig tree and eventually receives its fruit. The human heart also reflects what it truly contains, just as water reflects a face. Silver and gold can be tested repeatedly, but deeply rooted folly is difficult to separate from the fool. The section emphasizes the need to examine character rather than circumstances alone.

Wie das Spiegelbild im Wasser ist gegenüber dem Angesicht, also ist eines Menschen Herz gegenüber dem andern.
Como un agua se parece a otra, Así el corazón del hombre al otro.
Como en el agua el rostro refleja el rostro, así el corazón del hombre refleja al hombre.
Comme dans l'eau le visage répond au visage, Ainsi le coeur de l'homme répond au coeur de l'homme.
Come l’acqua rappresenta la faccia alla faccia; Così il cuor dell’uomo rappresenta l’uomo all’uomo
Como na água o rosto corresponde ao rosto, assim o coração do homem ao homem.
水中照臉,彼此相符; 人心相映,也是如此。
