23 (A)Know well the [a]condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds;
24 For wealth is not forever,
Neither is a (B)crown from generation to generation.
25 When the grass disappears and the vegetation appears,
And the herbs of the mountains are (C)gathered in,
26 The lambs will be for your clothing,
And the goats will bring the price of a field,
27 And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your maidens.

23 Know well the condition of your flocks,
    and give attention to your herds,
24 for riches do not last forever,
    nor a crown for all generations.(A)
25 When the grass is gone, and new growth appears,
    and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,(B)
26 the lambs will provide your clothing,
    and the goats the price of a field;
27 there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
    for the food of your household
    and nourishment for your female servants.
