Proverbs 27:22

New American Standard Bible

²²Though you ^(A)pound the fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
His foolishness still will not leave him.

Proverbs 27:22

New International Version

²²Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.

²²Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

⁵Where will you be stricken again,
As you ^(A)continue in your rebellion?
The entire head is ^(B)sick
And the entire heart is faint.

⁵Why should you be beaten^(A) anymore?
Why do you persist^(B) in rebellion?^(C)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart^(D) afflicted.^(E)

⁵Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
