In context

20Hell and destruction are not filled; So also are the eyes of men insatiable. a He that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; And the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.

21Fire is the trial for silver and gold; And a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him. a The heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; But an upright heart seeks knowledge.

— Proverbs 27:22 —

23Do thou thoroughly know the number of thy flock, And pay attention to thy herds.

24For a man has not strength and power forever; Neither does he transmit it from generation to generation.
