23 Be diligent to know the state of your (A)flocks,
And attend to your herds;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.

And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26 The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;
27 You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
