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

Verse 21 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.

Ein Mann wird durch den Mund des, der ihn lobt, bewährt wie Silber im Tiegel und das Gold im Ofen.
El crisol prueba la plata, y la hornaza el oro: Y al hombre la boca del que lo alaba.
El crisol es para la plata y el horno para el oro, y el hombre es probado por la alabanza que recibe.
Le creuset est pour l'argent, et le fourneau pour l'or; Mais un homme est jugé d'après sa renommée.
La coppella è per l’argento, e il fornello per l’oro; Ma l’uomo è provato per la bocca che lo loda
Como o crisol é para a prata, e o forno para o ouro, assim o homem é provado pelos louvores.
鼎為煉銀,爐為煉金, 口中的稱讚也試煉人。
