PROV 27:21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
PROV 27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
PROV 27:23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
PROV 27:24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
PROV 27:25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
PROV 27:26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
