Proverbs 27:23-25
Common English Bible
23 Know your flock well;
    pay attention to your herds,
24         for no treasure lasts forever,
        nor a crown generation after generation.
25 When the grass goes away, new growth appears,
    and the plants of the hills are gathered,
Proverbs 27:23-25
New King James Version
23 Be diligent to know the state of your (A)flocks,
And attend to your herds;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
25 (B)When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
Proverbs 27:23-25
English Standard Version
23 (A)Know well the condition of your flocks,
    and (B)give attention to your herds,
24 for (C)riches do not last forever;
    and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 (D)When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
    and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
Proverbs 27:23-25
King James Version
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
