Proverbs 27:22 in Context — Proverbs 27
20 O Xeol e a perdição nunca estão saciados; assim também os olhos do homem nunca estão satisfeitos.
21 [Como] o crisol é para a prata, e o forno para o ouro, assim o homem [é provado] pelos louvores que lhe dizem.
22 Ainda que esmagues ao tolo em um pilão junto com os grãos, ainda assim sua loucura não se separaria dele.
23 Procura conhecer a condição de tuas ovelhas; põe teu coração sobre o gado;
24 porque o tesouro não [dura] para sempre; nem uma coroa [dura] de geração em geração.
