Proverbs 27:21-27

English Standard Version

^23 (C)Know well the condition of your flocks,
    and ^(D)give attention to your herds,
²⁴ for ^(E)riches do not last forever;
    and does a crown endure to all generations?
^25 (F)When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
    and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
^26 (G)the lambs will provide your clothing,
    and the goats the price of a field.
^27 (H)There will be enough goats' milk for your food,
    for the food of your household
    and maintenance for your girls.
