Proverbs 27:24
for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.
BSB
ASV
For riches are not for ever; And doth the crown endure unto all generations?
KJV
For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
For riches are not for ever - All other kinds of property are very transitory. Money and the highest civil honors are but for a short season. Flocks and herds, properly attended to, may be multiplied and continued from generation to generation. The crown itself is not naturally so permanent.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
