20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 [As] the fining-pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so [is] a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, [yet] his foolishness will not 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] to every generation?
