Proverbs 27:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.

²³ Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:

²⁴ For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
