Proverbs 27:23 Context
21As the fining pot for siluer, and the furnace for gold: so is a man to his praise. 22Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnesse depart from him. 23Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy flocks, and looke well to thy herds. 24For riches are not for euer: and doth the crowne endure to euery generation? 25The hay appeareth, and the tender grasse sheweth it selfe, and herbes of the mountaines are gathered.
