Proverbs 27:22-24
GOD’S WORD Translation
22 If you crush a stubborn fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
⌞even then⌟ his stupidity will not leave him.
23 Be fully aware of the condition of your flock,
and pay close attention to your herds.
24 Wealth is not forever.
Nor does a crown last from one generation to the next.
Proverbs 27:22-24
New International Version
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.
