²³ Be certain that you know the condition of your flock very well.
Pay attention to your herds,
²⁴ because wealth is not forever,
nor does a crown pass from generation to generation.
²⁵ The hay is removed and new growth appears,
and grass from the mountains is gathered in.
²⁶ Lambs provide wool for your clothing,
and the price of the field can be earned from the goats.
²⁷ What’s more, there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for your household’s food,
and to maintain the life of your servant girls.
