Bible Question: Can you explain v23-27. How does this apply to modern day (flocks, and herds?) |
Bible Answer: Basically it refers to taking care of your wealth. PR 27:23 Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds; PR 27:24 For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. PR 27:25 When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, PR 27:26 The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field, PR 27:27 And there will be goats’ milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens Just as Sheppard had to take care of his flock and know his duties, so in the end he could reap the reward and take care of his household. If you fail to do your job and the duties assigned to it, you will end up with no means to take care of your family. Yet if you do your job diligently, your reward will be such. Just my 2 cents from quickly reading it. |
