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