The Necessity of Diligence in Work

Proverbs 27:23-27

Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves,

For riches are not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.

Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains.

Lambs are for thy clothing, And the price of the field are he-goats,

And a sufficiency of goats' milk is for thy bread, For bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels!
