Proverbs 27:20-25 American Standard Version (ASV)

20. Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

21. The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.

22. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

23. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds:

24. For riches are not for ever: And doth the crown endure unto all generations?

25. The hay is carried, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in.
