Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.Proverbs 27:22 · King James Version
Proverbs 27:22 in context
20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
