27 : 22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.
27 : 23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
27 : 24 for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
27 : 25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
27 : 26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
