Charles Spurgeon Commentary Proverbs 27:24-27

"For riches are not for ever: And doth the crown endure unto all generations? The hay is carried, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in. The lambs are for thy clothing, And the goats are the price of the field; And [there will be] goats` milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, And maintenance for thy maidens." — Proverbs 27:24-27 (ASV)

Those who are diligent generally prosper, and those who are diligent in spiritual things shall have all that their souls need. They shall be clothed with the robe of righteousness, they shall be well fed, and shall be satisfied.

May the wisdom of these proverbs be given to us in daily life, that we may be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves; but, above all, may heavenly wisdom be given to us in all spiritual things, to the praise of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
