  1. Proverbs 27:18 Or “lord”

23 You will surely know the condition[a] of your flock;
    your heart[b] attends to the herds.
24 For riches are not forever,
    nor a crown for generation after generation.
25 When the grass is gone, then green growth will appear,
    and the herbs of the mountains will be gathered.
26 Lambs will be your clothing,
    and goats the price of the field.
27 And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
    for the food of your household and the nourishment[c] of your maidservants.
