if crush DOM the,fool in/on/at/with,mortar in_the=middle the,grain in/on/at/with,pestle
Solomon uses this expression to introduce an imaginary situation to help explain how futile it is to stop a fool from being foolish. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose you were to pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle in the midst of ground grains”

crush DOM the,fool in/on/at/with,mortar in_the=middle the,grain in/on/at/with,pestle
The terms mortar and pestle refer to hard tools that are used together to crush grains. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of tools, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “you pound a fool with tools used for crushing grain”

אִוַּלְתּֽוֹ
