Proverbs 27:23-27
New American Standard Bible
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.

Proverbs 27:23-27
New Living Translation
23 Know the state of your flocks,
and put your heart into caring for your herds,
24 for riches don’t last forever,
and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.
25 After the hay is harvested and the new crop appears
and the mountain grasses are gathered in,
26 your sheep will provide wool for clothing,
and your goats will provide the price of a field.
27 And you will have enough goats’ milk for yourself,
your family, and your servant girls.
