Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.

Και αν κοπανισης δια κοπανου τον αφρονα εν ιγδιω μεταξυ σιτου κοπανιζομενου, η αφροσυνη αυτου δεν θελει χωρισθη απ' αυτου.

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