Proverbs 27:22-26 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

22. You can grind a foolish person in a mill. You can grind him as you would grind grain with a tool. But you can't remove his foolishness from him.

23. Be sure you know how your flocks are doing. Pay careful attention to your herds.

24. Riches don't last forever. And a crown is not secure for all time to come.

25. The hay is removed, and new growth appears. The grass from the hills is gathered in.

26. Then your lambs will provide you with clothes. And the money from selling your goats will buy you a field.
