20. As Death and Destruction are never satisfied,so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.
21. As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold,so a person is proved by the praise he receives.
22. If you should pound the fool in the mortaramong the grain with the pestle,his foolishness would not depart from him.
23. Pay careful attention to the condition of your flocks,give careful attention to your herds,
24. for riches do not last forever,nor does a crown last from generation to generation.
25. When the hay is removed and new grass appears,and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26. the lambs will be for your clothing,and the goats will be for the price of a field.
27. And there will be enough goat’s milk for your food,for the food of your household,and for the sustenance of your servant girls.
