¹⁸ Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof; so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored.

²³ Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds,

²⁴ for riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure to every generation?

²⁵ The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered;

²⁶ the lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats pay the price of the field;

²⁷ and thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food for thy household, and for the maintenance of thy maidens.
