23 (A)Know well the [a]condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a (B)crown endure to all generations.
25 When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen,
And the herbs of the mountains are (C)gathered in,
26 The lambs will be for your clothing,
And the goats will bring the price of a field,
27 And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your attendants.

  1. Proverbs 27:23 Lit face

23 Know well the condition of your flocks,
    and give attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not last for ever;
    and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 When the grass is gone, and the new growth appears,
    and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,
26 the lambs will provide your clothing,
    and the goats the price of a field;
27 there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
    for the food of your household
    and maintenance for your maidens.

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,(A)
    give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,(B)
    and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
    and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
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 your family
    and to nourish your female servants.
