Proverbs 27:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 Though 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;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a (C)crown endure to all generations.
