Proverbs 27:23-27

23 Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;

24 For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.

25 The grass comes up and the young grass is seen, and the mountain plants are got in.

26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:

27 There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.
