Proverbs 27:23 DBY

²¹  The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; so let a man be to the mouth that praiseth him.

²²  If thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his folly depart from him.

²³  Be well acquainted with the appearance of thy flocks; look well to thy herds:

²⁴  for wealth is not for ever; and doth the crown [endure] from generation to generation?

²⁵  The hay is removed, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered in.
