Proverbs 27:25 — Meaning and Application

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, {and} look well to thy herds. {look...: Heb. set thy heart}

For riches {are} not for ever: and doth the crown {endure} to every generation? {riches: Heb. strength} {to...: Heb. to generation and generation?}

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

The lambs {are} for thy clothing, and the goats {are} the price of the field.

And {thou shalt have} goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and {for} the maintenance for thy maidens. {maintenance: Heb. life}
