Know well the condition of your flocks,

and give attention to your herds,

for riches do not last forever;

and does a crown endure to all generations?

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,

give careful attention to your herds;

for riches do not endure forever,

and a crown is not secure for all generations.

and pay attention to your herds,

for wealth is not forever;

not even a crown lasts for all time.

and put your heart into caring for your herds,

for riches don’t last forever,

and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.

your heart attends to the herds.

For riches are not forever,

nor a crown for generation after generation.

And look well to thy herds.
