Proverbs 27:20

Helle and perdicioun schulen not be fillid; so and the iyen of men moun not be fillid.

Bible (Wycliffe)

In The King James Version

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

In Context

19As the cheris of men biholdinge schynen in watris; so the hertis of men ben opyn to prudent men.

21As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
