Proverbs 27:23 ASV

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.
