Proverbs 27:24 Context
22Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnesse depart from him. 23Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy flocks, and looke well to thy herds. 24For riches are not for euer: and doth the crowne endure to euery generation? 25The hay appeareth, and the tender grasse sheweth it selfe, and herbes of the mountaines are gathered. 26The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of thy field.
