Proverbs 27:21 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. As the fining pot for silver - As silver and gold are tried by the art of the refiner, so is a man's heart by the praise he receives. If he feel it not, he deserves it; if he be puffed up by it, he is worthless.
