Bible verse
for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.
Proverbs 27:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 27.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
22 Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him.
23 Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;
24 for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.
25 When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you—food for your household and nourishment for your maidservants.
