^{24 Ref} For riches are not forever, Nor does even the crown endure to all generations.

^{25 Ref} The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, The grasses of the hills are gathered in.

^{26 Ref} The lambs are for your clothing, And the goats are the price of a field.

^{27 Ref} There will be plenty of goats' milk for your food, For your family's food, And for the nourishment of your servant girls.
