Proverbs 27:21-23
International Standard Version
Proverbs 27:21-23
International Standard Version
21 As the crucible tests[a] silver,
and the furnace assays[b] gold;
so praise received tests[c] a man.
22 Though you crush a fool in a mortar and pestle
as someone might crush grain,
his stupidity still won’t leave him.
23 Keep well informed of the condition of your flocks
and pay attention to your herds,
