Proverbs 27:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 If you crush a fool in the mortar with the pestle along with[a] the crushed grain,
it will not drive folly from upon him.
23 You will surely know the condition[b] of your flock;
your heart[c] attends to the herds.
24 For riches are not forever,
nor a crown for generation after generation.
