SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:24
porque las riquezas no son para siempre; ¿Y será la corona para perpetuas generaciones?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 27:24
Verse 24. For riches are not for ever ] All other kinds of property are very transitory. Money and the highest civil honours are but for a short season. Flocks and herds, properly attended to, may be multiplied and continued from generation to generation. The crown itself is not naturally so permanent.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. For riches [are] not for ever , etc.] A man cannot be assured of the continuance of them; they are uncertain things, here today and gone tomorrow: wherefore, though a man has a considerable share of them, yet should follow one calling or another; particularly husbandry is recommended, or keeping sheep and cattle, which are increasing; by which means his substance will be continued and augmented, which otherwise is not to be depended on, but in a diligent attendance to business; and doth the crown [endure] to every generation ? the royal crown, that is not to be depended upon; a king that wears a crown is not sure he shall always wear it, or that it shall be continued to his family one generation after another. And it is suggested, that it is not even beneath such persons to have a regard to their flocks and herds, and the increase of their riches in this way: the Chinese kings, many of them, formerly employed themselves in husbandry, and set examples of industry and diligence to their subjects f766 ; King Hezekiah provided himself possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, ( 2 Chronicles 32:28,29).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-27 - We ought to have some business to do in this world, and not to live in idleness, and not to meddle with what we do not understand. We must be diligent and take pains. Let us do what we can, still the world cannot be secured to us, therefore we must choose a more lasting portion; but by the blessing of God upon our honest labours, we may expect to enjo as much of earthly blessings as is good for us __________________________________________________________________
