22Though thou shouldst beat a fool in a mortar, Among bruised wheat, with a pestle, Yet will not his folly depart from him.
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds!
24For riches last not for ever; Not even a crown endureth from generation to generation.
25The hay disappeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbage of the mountains is gathered in.
