22 Though you should grind a fool in a mortaramong wheat with a pestle,yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,and look well to your herds;
24 for riches are not forever,nor does the crown endure to every generation.
25 The hay appears, and the tender grass shows itself,and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for your clothing,and the goats are the price of the field.
27 You will have goats’ milk enoughfor your food, for the food of your household,and for the maintenance of your maidens.
