22. Even though like grain you should pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23. Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds;
24. For riches are not forever; does a crown endure to all generations?
25. When the hay is gone, the tender grass shows itself, and herbs of the mountain are gathered in,
26. The lambs will be for your clothing, and the goats [will furnish you] the price of a field.
27. And there will be goats' milk enough for your food, for the food of your household, and for the maintenance of your maids.
