Proverbs 27:22-27

22 si contuderis stultum in pila quasi tisanas feriente desuper pilo non auferetur ab eo stultitia eius

23 diligenter agnosce vultum pecoris tui tuosque greges considera

24 non enim habebis iugiter potestatem sed corona tribuetur in generatione generationum

25 aperta sunt prata et apparuerunt herbae virentes et collecta sunt faena de montibus

26 agni ad vestimentum tuum et hedi agri pretium

27 sufficiat tibi lac caprarum in cibos tuos in necessaria domus tuae et ad victum ancillis tuis
