^{23 Ref} Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, `And' look well to thy herds:

^{24 Ref} For riches are not for ever: And doth the crown endure unto all generations?

^{25 Ref} The hay is carried, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in.

^{26 Ref} The lambs are for thy clothing, And the goats are the price of the field;

^{27 Ref} And `there will be' goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, And maintenance for thy maidens.
