Proverbs 27:23-27
English Standard Version
23 (A)Know well the condition of your flocks,
and (B)give attention to your herds,
24 for (C)riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 (D)When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 (E)the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 (F)There will be enough goats' milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
Proverbs 27:23-27
International Standard Version
23 Keep well informed of the condition of your flocks
and pay attention to your herds,
24 because riches don’t endure forever,
and crowns don’t last from one generation to the next.
25 When the grass disappears,
and new growth appears,
the mountain spices will be harvested,
26 the lambs will supply your clothing,
and your goats the price of a field.
27 You will have enough goat’s milk to drink
and to supply your household needs,
as well as sustenance for your servant girls.
