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

Proverbs 27:21-22
New International Version
21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,(A)
but people are tested by their praise.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.

And a man is valued by what others say of him.

Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
