Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 Whoever tends a fig tree(A) will eat its fruit,(B)
and whoever looks after his master will be honored.
Proverbs 27:18
Common English Bible
18 Those who tend a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and those who look after their master will be honored.
Proverbs 27:23-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 Know well the condition of your flock,(A)
and pay attention to your herds,
24 for wealth is not forever;(B)
not even a crown lasts for all time.
25 When hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grain from the hills is gathered in,
26 lambs will provide your clothing,
and goats, the price of a field;
27 there will be enough goat’s milk for your food—
food for your household
and nourishment for your female servants.(C)
Proverbs 27:23-27
Common English Bible
23 Know your flock well;
pay attention to your herds,
24 for no treasure lasts forever,
nor a crown generation after generation.
25 When the grass goes away, new growth appears,
and the plants of the hills are gathered,
26 then the lambs will provide your clothes,
and the goats will be the price of your fields.
27 There will be enough goat’s milk for your food,
for the food of your house,
and to nourish your young women.
