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