Proverbs 27:22-24
International Children’s Bible

22 Even if you ground up a foolish person like grain in a bowl,
    you couldn’t remove his foolishness.

23 Be sure you know how your sheep are doing.
    Pay close attention to the condition of your cattle.
24 Riches will not continue forever.
    Nor do governments continue forever.

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.

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,(A)
    give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,(B)
    and a crown is not secure for all generations.
