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.

Die Lämmer kleiden dich und die Böcke geben dir das Geld, einen Acker zu kaufen.
Los corderos para tus vestidos, Y los cabritos para el precio del campo:
Los corderos te darán vestido y los machos cabríos, el precio de un campo.
Les agneaux sont pour te vêtir, Et les boucs pour payer le champ;
Gli agnelli son per lo tuo vestire, E i becchi sono il prezzo di un campo.
Então os cordeiros serão para te vestires, e os bodes para o preço do campo;
綿羊可以做衣服, 公山羊可作田地的價值,
