Proverbs 27:20-25 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. The grave and destruction are not satisfied; So the eyes of man are not satisfied.

21. A refining pot is for silver and a furnace for gold, So a man is tried by his praise.

22. Even if you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle Along with crushed grain, His folly shall not leave him.

23. Know well the state of your flocks; Set your heart to your herds;

24. For riches are not forever, Nor a diadem to all generations.

25. Grass vanishes, and new grass appears, And the vegetation of the mountains are gathered in.
