- Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.
- The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but man is tested by the praise he receives.
- Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.
- Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
- for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
|
- 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?

- When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
- the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
- You will have plenty of goats' milk to feed you and your family and to nourish your servant girls.
|
- 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.
