and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself,
and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing,
and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food,
for the food of thy household,
and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
