Proverbs 27:23

All About Life

²² Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
²³ Know well the condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds;
²⁴ For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
