Proverbs 27:22-24
New International Reader's Version
22 Suppose you could grind a foolish person in a mill.
Suppose you could grind them as you would grind grain with a tool.
Even then you could not remove their foolishness from them.
23 Be sure you know how your flocks are doing.
Pay careful attention to your herds.
24 Riches don’t last forever.
And a crown is not secure for all time to come.
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.
