Proverbs 27:22-24
Modern English Version
22 Though you should grind a fool in a mortar
among wheat with a pestle,
yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,
and look well to your herds;
24 for riches are not forever,
nor does the crown endure to every generation.
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.
