Verse 24 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. The final instruction calls for diligently knowing the condition of the flocks and paying attention to entrusted possessions. Wealth does not last forever, and resources require responsible management. The passage concludes with an image of daily sustenance produced by animals and human labor. Economic wisdom here consists not in speculation, but in vigilance, management, and recognition of the fragility of resources.

Denn Gut währt nicht ewiglich, und die Krone währt nicht für und für.
Porque las riquezas no son para siempre; ¿Y será la corona para perpetuas generaciones?
porque las riquezas no duran para siempre; ¿dura la corona de generación en generación?
Car la richesse ne dure pas toujours, Ni une couronne éternellement.
Perciocchè i tesori non durano in perpetuo; E la corona è ella per ogni età?
Porque o tesouro não dura para sempre; e durará a coroa de geração em geração?
因為財富不能永留, 冠冕豈能存到萬代?
