Proverbs 27:23-27

23 eKnow well the condition of your flocks,
and fgive attention to your herds,
24for griches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 hWhen the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 ithe lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 jThere will be enough goatsmilk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
