21. The fining 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 among bruised corn, 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 sheweth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in.
