Proverbs 27:20-27

²⁰The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied.

²¹As is the fining pot for siluer and the fornace for golde, so is euery man according to his dignitie.

²²Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate brayed with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnes depart from him.

²³Be diligent to know ye state of thy flocke, and take heede to the heardes.

²⁴For riches remaine not alway, nor the crowne from generation to generation.

²⁵The hey discouereth it selfe, and the grasse appeareth, and the herbes of the mountaines are gathered.

²⁶The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of the fielde.

²⁷And let the milke of the goates be sufficient for thy foode, for the foode of thy familie, and for the sustenance of thy maydes.
