Proverbs 27:23-27

MSG

NIV

23 Know your sheep by name; carefully attend to your flocks;
23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
24 (Don't take them for granted; possessions don't last forever, you know.)
24 for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 And then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns,
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 You can knit sweaters from lambs' wool, and sell your goats for a profit;
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.
27 There will be plenty of milk and meat to last your family through the winter.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants.
