21. As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold,so is a man to his praise.
22. Though you should grind a fool in a mortaramong wheat with a pestle,yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23. Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,and look well to your herds;
24. for riches are not forever,nor does the crown endure to every generation.
25. The hay appears, and the tender grass shows itself,and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
