Proverbs 27:22


← Proverbs 27:21 Proverbs 27:22 (KJV) Proverbs 27:23 →
As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
