Proverbs 27:24

for riches do not last ¹  forever, nor does a crown last ²  from generation to generation.

2Sa 7:16; Ps 89:36; Pr 23:5; Isa 9:7; Zep 1:18; 1Ti 6:17,18; Jas 1:10

¹ tn Heb “riches are not forever” (so KJV, NASB); TEV “wealth is not permanent.” The term “last” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

² tn The conjunction and the particle indicate that the same nuance continues here in the second colon, and so “last” has been supplied here as well.
