23Be sure to know the state of your flocks,
and pay close attention to your herds;
24for riches are not forever,
nor does a crown endure to every generation.
25When hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grain from the hills is gathered,
26the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you —
food for your household
and nourishment for your maidservants.
— Proverbs 27:23-27
