Proverbs 27:18
World English Bible
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.
He who looks after his master shall 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
World English Bible
23 Know well the state of your flocks,
and pay attention to your herds:
24 for riches are not forever,
nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears,
the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 The lambs are for your clothing,
and the goats are the price of a field.
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food,
for your family’s food,
and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
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.
