Proverbs 27:22-24

Christian Standard Bible

²² Though you grind a fool
in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
you will not separate his foolishness from him.^(A)

²³ Know well the condition of your flock,^(B)
and pay attention to your herds,
²⁴ for wealth is not forever;^(C)
not even a crown lasts for all time.
