Proverbs 27:19

Proverbs 27:19 fascinates me. I've seen it true so many times. Also there's quite a spin on interpretation when reading some versions.

19As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man. (NASB)
19 Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another. (BBE)
19 As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man. (ASV)
19 You see your face in a mirror and your thoughts in the minds of others. (CEV)
19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. (ESV)
19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man. (NIV)
19 As water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another (NRSV, if memory serves right)

Maybe I'm just being too reflective. It happens when I have more time and less to do than I can handle. Ok, enough reflecting on here since I'm not going to do a complete mindspew anyway.
