- Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
- 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.
- For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
|
- Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
- The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.
- Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
- Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;
- For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.

- The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
- The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
- And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
|
- When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
- The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field,
- And there will be goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens.
