Proverbs 27:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 27:22

20 ^aHell¹ and Destruction are never full;
So ^bthe eyes of man are never satisfied.

21 ^aThe refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.

22 ^aThough you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

23 Be diligent to know the state of your ^aflocks,
And attend to your herds;

24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
