Proverbs 27:22-24

American Standard Version

²²Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain,
Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

²³Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks,
And look well to thy herds:
²⁴For riches are not for ever;
And doth the crown endure unto all generations?
