Proverbs 27:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²²Though you ^(A)pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

²³^(B)Know well the ^[a]condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds;
²⁴For riches are not forever,
Nor does a ^(C)crown endure to all generations.
