21. The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,but people are tested by their praise.
22. Though you grind a fool in a mortar,grinding them like grain with a pestle,you will not remove their folly from them.
23. Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,give careful attention to your herds;
24. for riches do not endure for ever,and a crown is not secure for all generations.
