Proverbs 27:21-23
American Standard Version
21 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;
And a man is tried by [a]his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain,
Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks,
And look well to thy herds:
