John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 26. The lambs [are] for thy clothing , etc.] This is another argument, exciting to diligence in the pastoral calling, taken from the profit arising from it: the wool of the lambs, or rather “sheep”, as many versions render it; of it cloth is made, and of that garments to be worn, to keep decent, warm, and comfortable; (see Job 31:20); and the goats [are] the price of thy field : these, being brought up and sold, furnish the husbandman with money to purchase more fields to feed his cattle on. The Targum is, “the goats are for negotiation;” with the price of them a man may purchase any of the necessaries of life for himself and family; these are negotiated, ( Ezekiel 27:21); the Syriac version is, “the goats are for thy food”; and so, between both the sheep and goats, man has both food and raiment; though his food is particularly mentioned in ( Proverbs 27:27).

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 __________________________________________________________________
