Proverbs 27:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 As silver is tested by a crucible and gold by a furnace,
so too is a man tested by the praise he is given.
22 You may use a pestle to pound a fool into a mortar,
but his folly will never be driven out of him.
Take Good Care of Your Herds[a]
23 Be aware at all times of the condition of your flocks
and take good care of your herds.
