Proverbs 27:21-23
New International Reader's Version
21 Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold.
But people are tested by the praise they receive.
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.
