27:27 And there will be enough goat’s milk for your food, 1
for the food of your household,
and for the sustenance 2 of your servant girls.
1 sn This part of the proverb shows the proper interplay between human labor and divine provision. It teaches people to take care of what they have because it will not last forever.
