Proverbs 27:23-27

^{Tools
23}

Know well the condition of your flock,^(A)
and pay attention to your herds,

^{Tools
24}

for wealth is not forever;^(B)
not even a crown lasts for all time.

^{Tools
25}

When hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grain from the hills is gathered in,

^{Tools
26}

lambs will provide your clothing,
and goats, the price of a field;

^{Tools
27}

there will be enough goat’s milk for your food—
food for your household
and nourishment for your female servants.^(C)
